Slightly OT? Tow behind leaf vacuums

That time is approaching faster than I would prefer...



Anyone have either the cyclone rake or the tow-behind DR leaf vacuum. I'm considering buying one or the other.



Have about 1.5 acres of lawn in middle of heavily wooded lot and get



*lots* of leaves. Some areas I can just mulch them with the tractor, but it's hopeless in many sections unless I get out there every day (not gonna happen). And if it rains, it's all over.

I have an old troy built chipper-vacuum that works pretty well, but even with its good sized bag, I spend more time emptying the bag than sucking up the leaves.



Interested in hearing from owners of either (or other brands) about how well it works, any problems, etc.



I found one detailed review of the cyclone rake, but not much out there on the DR unit.



TIA,
