Although I now mostly keep mowing the leaves till they mostly disappear the pine needles that fall are sucked up with the DR and gotten rid of. I believe the pine needles turn the soil too acid to grow grass so they come off with the DR. I also have several places that the grass is very thick and also use the DR to pick up a day or so after mowing. In all I count the DR as a good investment.

Here is his DR and I agree it sure works great.

I don't use a mulching plug either.

I agree,most of us are using the 54'' GT deck and they do a wonderful job on leaves.
