I recently purchased a leaf collector for my riding mower, I previously collected leaves with a lawn sweeper. The lawn sweeper while much easier to use than a leaf rake (a lot easier) still left me a little more than tired and blowing leaf “dander” out of my nasal passages. The lawn sweeper allowed me to collect the many leaves in as little as 8 to 12 passes, still less time than a leaf rake. The leaf collector pulls the leaves into the mower blades where they are chopped up and blown into the collection bags at the rear of the mower. This takes as little as 3 passes and collects more as the leaves are chopped up. Once full the bags lift off and can be dumped into the burn pile. The burning goes a lot faster as the leaves are smaller and ignite quicker and I can get rid of my weekly newspapers/ junk mail at the same time. This may appear to be a small matter but if you ever raked a lot of leaves then you can appreciate not having to do it with a rake! Hoorake for leaf collectors!
