I got tired of raking leaves 10 or 12 years ago. Mind you, I have a whole bunch of large maples so I know a little about leaves.
I sharpen up the blades really well on my riding lawn tractor.
Start by "mowing" backward over the leaves...this results in a couple of small windrows of half chopped leaves. Then go forward and further chop the leaves which also throws the remaining unchopped leaves to the right. Now back up again and repeat the process until you've covered the whole lawn. The leaves will be chopped so fine they sift right down through the grass. When there is a large layer of leaves, you sometimes have to raise the deck when backing up and you may have to do the process twice. It takes a while but is well worth the effort. Now, your leaves will certainly rot away and add nutrients to the soil. Where I can't get to with the tractor. I use a Lawn-Boy with a mulching block which does almost the same thing in one pass.

After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
