I have a JD 425 (20 hp with 54" deck)that I need a collection system for. I have 3 mowed acres heavily wooded with oaks, and mainly need to pick up the leaves, and acorns. What experiences have you had with different systems?

I am considering :

JD attached 13 bushel hydraulic dump
Steiner ground driver lawn sweeper about 30 bushels
various 5-9 hp chipper vac pull behind trailers about 30 bushels

I have the ground drive lawn sweeper. I think it is the best thing since sliced bread. We had a bad hail storm back in the spring and I cleaned my entire yard with out touching a rake! Well worth every penny.
