Stop in for a cup of coffee

I'm gonna test my "new" lawn tractor out today... I just got it running yesterday...

I gotta learn how to use the leaf collector, lots of leaves on the lawns that need to be picked up....

I've never had a riding mower before this year, especially one with the leaf collector and need to figure out how to get it to pick up the leaves, and then empty them...

Should I "premulch" the leaves with one of my other mowers first by wagon training them with circles and then once they are in a pile, take the leaf collector one over them to mulch them some more and pick them up???

Mine doesn’t pick up very good if they are wet or already mulched. But I am running regular blades and bagger is actually from a different mower...
