We knew a family with a 74 Victa VC -125 mark III who would just rake up a pile of twigs and leaf matter and run it over. it worked satisfactorily, but I hate to think how the blades looked. The simple round blade disc on earlier series Victas like that one might have been an advantage over the later type with all those fancy shapes pressed into it, which would probably jam more easily. I remember they didn't rev the engine too much and took it easy when doing it.
