What “leaf blower” is best for vacuuming yard into small trailer

[Rmay635703]

I would prefer a handheld unit, the leaves usually have tons of acorns and little sticks, 3/4 acre and massive amounts of acorns left over from fall.

Trying to take and scoop isn’t working very well on the acorns, tried brushing onto a tarp and ripped the tarp.

My father many years ago had a blower and vac combo leaf blower with a large long hose into the trailer, besides occasionally plugging I don’t remember it having issues with the small sticks and acorns.

Not sure if anything beefy enough exists anymore, the little electric one I have I would expect to just break. The sheer volume of acorns makes it impossible to shop vac.

will a lawnmower with bagger pick them up ?

It would take a whole weekend with a handheld and you would be emptying the bag 100 times. For 3/4 acre you need something like

Nope, just spits the acorns and sticks around if it even moves them

So far takes longer with the trailer on a dolly with a rake and shovel

Which is why I posted those walk behind vacs.

That might help but it may have the same issue the pull behind yard rake I use on the lawn tractor has in that most of the acorns just stay put. I see troybuilt and others have similar devices $800-$3000. Case of I would have to use it a while and see if it’s good enough
