Please consider my Dad's solution. Mow the leaves in place, and leave them

year. And sending all those minerals to the landfill.

Some people have way too many leaves for that.

I don't understand that. My 6.5 hp mower will occasionally have
trouble mulching tall soggy grass, but ONLY IF I let grass muck build
up under the deck. I never have trouble either mulching or bagging
any amount of leaves. Bagging is really easy for the mower, and is
probably a good idea for acidic oak leaves.

Plus, mowers are quieter and less annoying than a cheap, smokey, whiny
2-stroke blower. The lesson: take the money you would spend on a
blower, and save it for a quality, powerful, bagging/mulching mower.
