I'd leave the leaves but we live in a clearing in the woods and if I didn't clear them they'd mat down with rain and choke out the grass. Its possible that my mulching blade would cut them fine enough, but whatever. I do compost the leaves-usually about 15-20 loads, so there's that.

A used Trac-Vac for $300 is a good deal.
I've never thought mine needed more suction...it will draw in leaves a half foot outside of the deck.
My problem is finding a place to dump the Trac-Vac loads. I'm running out of spots.

The benefits of the Honda engine will be quieter and better fuel economy.
