Due to wrist and shoulder problems I can't rake, so I use the lawn tractor and bagger to get the leaves off the ground. If the leaves are too thick, they clog the chute....so I typically do 3 or 4 stages. I wish I had sons to take over this stupid task. I love my daughters but they are fairly useless when it comes to yardwork.
