Picked up some MORE leaves today. The garden is pretty well saturated, so these went to the street.

And the Fat Lady hasn't even came on stage yet.

Yeah I have 3 stubborn trees that haven't dropped yet.  Then i can be done with the cyclo vac

  Pushed back the leaf pile today with the C-145 auto.
  Not loving that motion control lever, doesn’t stay in position so I find I’m holding it with my right hand almost all the time.

That's adjustable.

My own '75 C160 Automatic does not hold and I leave it that way on purpose. I actually like the need for constant adjustment .. it helps me pay attention while plowing snow.  

 

My Ole Man's "Ugly Bruce tractor" does hold.... BUT.... the hilly terrain dictates the need for constant adjustment anyways....

Well today i got to use four of my herd.  The A-60 electric hauled my crippled old body from the house to the shop, something it does nearly every day.

The 310-8 ground up some more leaves, much like @pfrederi I am on my second round of leaf grinding and this will go on well past Thanksgiving.

The 418-C has the leaf blower mounted on it and we cleared the driveway for about the tenth time this season, Oh by the way we live in the forest.

The GT-14 with FEL moved last years leaf compost piles in preparation for leaf sweeping 2026. I will probably use a 953 to pull the sweeper , but which one?

Anticipating rain overnight and knowing that moving dry leaves is a LOT easier than moving wet ones, I used a blower to bring them closer together at the back corner and then, like @953 nut, chopped them with multiple passes with the 854 and 36” gear deck. Then the blower put the minced remains into a pile that will be composted.
