Do you have a compact tractor and a 6' or 7' sweeper?
If you read my post, only about .75 acres is lawn, the rest are woods (3.5 is total). I have a 4' sweeper, it works best if running at high speed (no gears, hydrodrive) as it thows the leaves to the back and fills more evenly that way so it is actually around the same if not a little quicker than mowing the lawn. I usually sweep it 3 or 4 times - about once a week once the leaves start coming down, but may mulch the last one or two times to give the lawn some fertilization. It's way quicker than any other method I've tried as I get a TON of leaves due to all of the woods.
