Surely you can use your Mog connected to the vac hose to blow these away!

The side exits on the Coupe work well on the drive as a blower.
Unless you are going to buy an expensive one then they are all mostly the same. I tend to buy a cheap one on offers at the end of the year based on light weight and bag size. It dies after 2-3 years which seems to be the norm these days sadly.
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

For some years I have used my lawn mower (with catcher bag) to perform the autumn leave collecting.
The main advantage is shredding of leaves when collecting them which reduces volume at disposal and provides better rotting quality.

Bought a cheap garden vac from Lidl a few years ago, kept it in the shed unused for two years. Finally after a heavy leaf fall I thought I’d get it out and use it for the first time
Plugged it in and spent a very satisfying 5 minutes sucking every leaf from a pile into Me wielding a rather nice green bazooka shaped gun out of Aliens until my wife knocked on the window pointing to a growing pile of leaves behind me
The mice had chewed a big hole in the fabric collection bag so the leaves were just passing through

Ours gravitate to one corner of the garden and make a nice hibernation zone for hedgehogs.
We collect a few from the neighbours garden to put in the hedgehog home that my son built in the garden too, these little pricklies need all the help they can get. Now the farmers are not allowed (legally anyway) to shoot the badgers they are eating lots more hedgehogs as their numbers increase.
Good man!  Hogs and red squirrels need all the help they can get  Please don't blow them on to the tracks.  Quite!

I have just bought another Atco Tractor and buy using the cutter on a mid to high setting, I can pick up and shred the leaves all at once. The main trouble is that I'm still doing it in Jan/Feb as the stupid oak trees like to hang on until the beech trees have finished.
Here for a good time not a long time!!

Leaf rake. Great exercise, cheap, environmentally friendly and works. We get a lot of leaves in our garden. Make fantastic leaf mulch.
