I have an encore extreme ZT mower. it has a big sucker fan mounted on the output of the mower deck to help pickup and chop up leaves. it is belt driven from the mower deck.
it wont pick up all the leaves. those ones that have been embedded in the yard have been there for many many years. as packed down as they were I know the cyclone would not have picked them up either.

even when my wife raked she could not get all the small leaves. I have those really small oak tree leaves.


I think the CR could do the job now perhaps but the initial job called for the blower.
those leaves were like cement, they even came up in chunks at times.

still need to do the neighbors back yard, I will try to get pics if they will show the extent of it.
