Good afternoon,
Looking for a 4-cycle or battery operated leaf vacuum. One that can be pushed by hand. Any ideas? I seen some neat/effective setups for pull-behind garden trackers, but that won't work in this application. Thank you for your input.

I've been using Little Wonder blowers since about 1983, and I still think they have the best products in their class. The older walk-behind blowers used to dual-purpose as a vac, but now they have separate blower and vac products:

They aren't cheap, but I ran one of these for 12 years and they are very good at what they do.

I should probably break down and buy a tow behind leaf vac for my ZTR. I presently use a Little Wonder walk-behind blower on a JRCO blower buggy, to push all the leaves into the woods at either edge of my property.

My neighbors who own those woods that boarder my property on each side are gracious enough to allow me to do this, I return the favor in other ways, but it's not efficient moving huge piles of leaves 200+ feet either direction from the center of the yard, and I do end up blocking one of their driveways during the process. Now that they have teen drivers, the traffic on that driveway seems to have increased 4x over prior years, and I hate being an obstacle for anyone.

With a tow-behind leaf vac, I imagine I could either dump the leaves in the woods, or into my trailer for transport to the local mulching facility. Not super convenient either, but anyone who's tried to move a waste-deep 300 ft. wide pile of cherry or oak leaves 200 feet thru grass with a blower knows it means hundreds or thousands of trips up and down the line to get them there.
