A tow-behind lawn vacuum carries its own engine and impeller on a cart behind the mower, usually drawing through a hose fitted to the mower deck’s discharge chute so you mow and collect in one pass. It pulls up wet and matted leaves that brushes leave behind, and the impeller breaks them down so more fit in each load. Most need the deck adapter matched to your mower.
