Big Yard Leaf Blowers

[OldHillcrestGuy]

Im interested if anyone has any opinions about the big blowers, not the backpack types, but the wheeled ones.
Ive seen a couple of brands out there, Billy Goat and Little Wonder being 2 of them.
Son and I do some yardwork on the side, and he wants to get one of these bigger ones instead of the the backpacks.
Everyone we have talked to says they great and really cuts down on the time it takes for leaf removal.
Thought I'd ask the very knowledgeable people of the forum who may have experience with them what they thought.

I used to have a Toro version. It was OK, but you still wind up having to pick all the leaves up from a pile once you blow them into it, unless you have a place to blow them straight into the woods or something. What I prefer is the vacuum that you pull behind a tractor that sucks them all up, then you just dump them somewhere.

Try the Cyclone Rake. I have one and it is awesome. It pulls behind your tractor and has its own motor that drives a mulching/sucking blade. It really mulches leaves and small twigs. Cuts yard time by 3/4!

I'm not joking this time, believe it or not.
It has wheels.
It's an older one, and it has a new bag ($80).
It leaks a little gas around the carburator.
I haven't used it in a couple years.
