I have run one, but not in a Lawnmowing business. I have used it for clearing parking lots and grass fields for public events. Great machine. Worked for me very well.
We have a facility that we take care of that we use it to keep an alley clean. There are many, many trees down one side. Blowing e leaves out with a blower works good but normally the leaves will be back in a very short time. Picking them up with the Merry Mac that grinds them up and dumping them keeps it much cleaner much longer than just blowing them out
It has a three speed transmission with reverse. I estimate at in high gear it will travel about 3mph. Emptying the bag is relatively fast. The back end of the bag has zippers and will open completely to dump stuff out the rear. It has a draw type band over the neck where it fills. Thus taking it off completely is only a short time if you want to dump it say on the pickup. It also reduces leaves 8X. In other words 8 black bags will reduce down to one.......What about speed? How's it do? How long does it take to empty a bag? How long to fill with a moderate amount of debris? Good wet?

I have actually used it on wet leaves so that water is oz zing out of the bag though I would only do that in extreme situations.
