@wvb93 well since leaves kill grass, i'm assuming he does it lawn health/aesthetic reasons. the leaves could be used as composting/fertilizer or as mulch. if he has green houses it could be used in there. i've heard of some nurseries using compost piles to heat their green houses in the winter
@wvb93 it's that, but not entirely. grass tips are actually very resistant to damage, it's more the roots that are the weak part. as the leaves break into smaller peices they start to form matted up sheets that suffocate the grass roots of air and water. (even grass roots need oxygen). it's why "paths" form in grass after being walked on excessively. the loose top soil becomes so compacted that voids holding oxygen and water are collapsed and starve the root.
that's a great invention. If he made a small chute in the door, after bulk removal the compression would allow him to blow the remainder completely clean.
Nice video, Matthias. I wish my yard was a bit flatter and had a fewer trees so I could use something like that. Too many sharp turns and slope in the yard to use a rider.

I note that you mention in the page mentioned that the tip speed is 40m/s, 144km/h.
It's 14"*pi*(3500/60)/s, or 65m/s, 234km/h, 144MPH.
Pesky imperial/metric units! :)
Over 2.5* the energy of the lower speed.

@maxdecphoenix interesting points. i never realized the leaves would kill the grass, by blocking the sunlight i assume.
