I bought a 20hp garden tractor several years ago mainly for this very purpose. I have tried every method, raking, blowing, yard vacuum, but the best in my opinion is the tractor. Sucks every last leaf up. If anyone else does it this way, I got "bagging" blades for my tractor and it picks up even better. I notice way more airflow coming up the chute. Most of them come with mulching blades when new. I always compost my stuff and never mulch so it works out great. I truly don't mind the exercise of raking leaves, and I still do a little to get hard to reach places, but I find the whole raking process so inefficient, because of the amount of work needed to achieve the end result.
