Vacuum trucks do not suck.

So they make one that just takes the leaves off the trees? I want that one.

That’s what shotguns are for.

I’ve operated one similar to the basic Titan that was towed behind a beat to shit Ford F-600 with a large wooden box mounted inside the dump bed. It was a 4-cylinder diesel, but I don’t know the hp rating.
It wasn’t too bad to operate, but it didn’t have enough suction to get wet leaves without someone actually rakin g them to get them moving towards the nozzle. The worst issue we had was sticks. The trash removal service in town was very strict on sticks needing to be specific sizes and properly bundled for removal. This led to a lot of folks trying to hide masses of sticks under leaf piles. They would clog the nozzle and were a pain to clear.
