I could have just raked it into a trailer behind my tractor and been done with it, no gas, noise and it looks heavy. I know this because I do this every year on my property. Takes no time at all nor is it labor intensive. Now, that's just referring to the Pine cones and brush. The street sweeper part seemed useable. I wonder what else your followers have used it for.
