Too old to rake leaves
I actually used to enjoy racking the leaves in my back yard. At 70, I have a hard time doing it for more then a few minutes.
My solution is to use my pressure washer. You can blow leaves a long way with it. I discovered this by accident. Now it is my go to way of moving the leaves.

I haven't raked a leaf since maybe 2011. I use a handheld battery-powered Milwaukee blower, leaf sweeper, or bagger, or just mulch them. Since moving in 2016 to a Property with More conifer trees Than deciduous trees because the acreages here are so open I usually let the wind do the Raking and the Guy 3 House down His Landscaper is the One Mulching what leave I have . I have planted 6 maples and 2 beech trees since moving in giving me a grand total of 15 deciduous trees. I only use the leaf sweeper to gather enough leaves for rose cone insulation. Then I'll just mulch the rest of the leaves. Any leaves that get stuck near the fence lines, I use that Milwaukee blower to push to the center of the yard, then mulch with my mowing deck.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
