(ET) Ok, time for a leaf vacuum

[CZ Unit <cz alembic crystel com>]

Ok, the old Craftsman tractor is officially junk. Engine runs fine, 
transmission, deck, tires are shot and it ate the snorkel for the leaf 
collector.

Either I buy a new gas tractor to pick up leaves, or I do something with 
the Elec-trak.

I have about 400 55 gallon bags of mulched leaves I collect each year. 
The Elec-trac sweeper is nice, but it fills up in about 10 seconds. And 
dumping it takes time. And it doesn't vacuum up the stuff on the edges. 
And so forth.

So what to do? I have a trailer, and I have a rear discharge deck. I can 
spend up to 800 and I don't want something that will take a lot of space 
for the 99% of the time I'm not mowing.

Thoughts? Anyone have an elec-trak leaf vacuum thing to sell :-)
