    How good is the cyclone rake? Every year I say I’m going to get something to deal with these leaves and I don’t. 

    I absolutely love it. huge capacity so it drastically reduces the number of times I would have gone to the dump pile without it. days like today with lots of oak leaves are harder because you have to blow them into piles and suck them up with the big hose before you get started with the mower, if you don’t do that the mower deck will just push them around or leave trails behind you.

    2 yards, 2people, 2 lawn tractors, 2 blowers, and 1 cyclone rake will take about 5 hours.

    The first hour was picking up all the limbs and sticks that blew down last night . Then blow. Then tractor for stragglers . 

    That’s the plan tomorrow. blow ‘‘em into a few piles, suck ‘‘em up with the cyclone rake, then mow the rest of the lawn with the cyclone rake in tow. 2 2 acre yards should be done in <6 hours if all goes well. maybe find Time for a couple cold beers

    Now that Melissa is gone I’ve moved from tropical to late fall mode. With one of my locations now being SLK I’d love to post here too representing the western portion of the BTV NWS area, if y’all will have me. 

    You are welcome to post here, but beware. If you post pics of snow while SE Mass is getting rain or has bare ground, @CoastalWx might come for you.

    Just let the gusts blow them to the woods.

    that's a great plan, until the gusts blow them back out of the woods.

    Almost all of our oak leaves our down.  Maybe 30% left... they are usually on the trees until early November

    I’m with Dendy. most maples and birches are bare, oaks browning but still have ~90% of their leaves. It’s ok, they will all fall down right after I do leaf cleanup tomorrow
