If necessity is the mother of invention, laziness is the grandaddy.

I have almost a half acre which gets covered in oak leaves during the fall. I have to get them all to the burn pile on one end of the property which usually involves blowing them into separate piles and transporting each pile to the burn pile a bit at a time.

I figured there has to be an easier way to do this. I used a leaf blower/vac, a 4" flexible hose, and an insulation disposal bag that I had leftover from another project. It works pretty good. Actually better than the vacuum does with the shoulder bag probably because the airflow isn’t as restricted.

    Red would be proud. Once you vacumm those bad boys up, have you considered composting the leaves? It sounds like you have room to have a discreet compost heap behind some trees.
