The DR PILOT XTSP Self-Propelled Leaf and Lawn Vac is a powered leaf collection system designed to make seasonal yard cleanup faster, easier, and less labor-intensive. Instead of raking leaves into piles and repeatedly handling loose debris, the PILOT XTSP collects, mulches, and bags leaves directly into standard disposable paper leaf bags.

Its unique EZ Bagger Leaf Collection System makes bag changes quick and straightforward, while the integrated bag caddie keeps additional empty bags conveniently onboard. With a 4.3 HP (173cc) DR OHV engine, self-propelled operation, a 3-cubic-foot collection capacity, and an onboard chipper capable of processing branches up to 1.5 inches in diameter, the PILOT XTSP is designed to handle a wide range of residential lawn and property cleanup tasks.

Easy Leaf Collection Workflow

The PILOT XTSP is designed to streamline the entire leaf-cleanup process. Leaves are collected and mulched directly into a disposable paper bag, reducing the need to rake large piles by hand and repeatedly transfer loose material.

Once the bag is full, it can be removed for curbside disposal or composting, while another empty bag can quickly be installed using the EZ Bagger system.

Operator Safety & Guidance

Always read and follow the manufacturer's operating and safety instructions before using the PILOT XTSP. Wear appropriate eye and hearing protection, sturdy footwear, gloves, and suitable outdoor work clothing.

Keep hands, feet, clothing, and loose objects away from the intake, impeller, chipper, and other moving components. Never attempt to clear a blockage while the machine is running.

Use only appropriate debris within the stated 1.5-inch maximum branch diameter for the onboard chipper.

Basic Care & Maintenance

• Inspect the machine before each use.


• Keep the intake and discharge areas clear of accumulated debris.


• Inspect the impeller and chipper area regularly.


• Check wheels and hardware for damage or looseness.


• Maintain the engine according to the manufacturer's service recommendations.


• Check engine oil regularly.


• Keep the paper-bag system clean and properly installed.


• Store the machine in a clean, dry location when not in use.
