rpelleschi, the Argi-Fab Chip/Vac is what's at TSC. I have the larger model with 8 hp Tecumseh and chipper built in. It does work well.
I have the remote vacuum hose kit also and have used that in the flower beds and around trees. Works ok, but plugs easy.
Just bought a Husqvarna Commercial Backpack Blower that really works well for moving the leaves out where I just mow them with the Chip/Vac.
It is expensive but sure saves tons of time.

Anybody have experience with the DR Chipper/Vac? I, too, hate the task of picking up leaves and want to find the easy way out. We've mulched and vacummed with our Ariens rider but it still is alot. We cut about 2 cares with loads of trees around. I ordered the DR video and it sure looks promising.

I am torn between a conventional lawn tractor and a Zero turn. Can anyone shed some light on this dilema? I want to purchase in January if possible. I have approx 3 acres with lots of trees around the edge and a few good size oaks in the yard. Will the pull behind chip/vac work on a zero turn? I've been reading up on both and am still torn. The lawn sweeper is not an option for leaf pickup, from all I've gathered it does not have the capacity to handle the volume of leaves I'm going to have.

I (and my wife) have used a 33 inch mower, CUT with a 72 inch RFM and zero turn to cut yard from 1 1/2 acres with few trees to 2 acres with oaks and pine trees.
If you are after grass cutting the zero turn is the way to go period. The z turn is hard or dangerous to use on wet hill sides that others handle okay. Your front wheels do no steering and will not prevent side slipping on a slope. You are steering and driving with the two rear wheels only. So, turning cuts down on pulling up a hill, add wet and you may not make it.
I have a 52 inch Z turn and can cut our two acre yard with about 50 trees or shrubs in it in 30 minutes or so less than the hyrdostat trans CUT with the 72 (20 inch bigger) RFM. Also cutting closer to tress and such. I found a lot of variance in quality of Z turns. Mine was $4400, not considered that comppany's professional model but has deck and spindles that matches many professional models.
Yes, z turns are the most fun in grass cutting out there. My only complaint, my wife has decided she can operate the z turn and does very well, putting me back on the CUT or trimmer. I have found changing the blade difficult on the z turn. You will need ramps or floor jack to get deck up enough.
