I am low tech. I pull a lawn sweeper (with wheel driven brush) behind my ET
when mowing. Rear discharge mower leaves clippings behind, sweeper picks
them up. Does a fair job on leaves and needles, but if the leaf layer is
too deep you have to empty every few feet. I use a blower to move the worst
of the leaf litter, then mow and sweep the remainder.

No, the Craftsman can be beat. And Geo is not the only one that has one of
the Elec-Trak E-Z Vac attachments.
I have one of the E-Z vac attachments, but found my version that is like a
bagger mounted on the back of the tractor was too small for the volume of
leaves I had to deal with. So I used the blower and a trailer and came up
with this rig:

Crude looking because I slapped it together to use as soon as I could. I
never "improved" the installation because it worked and I had other things
to do.
