This doesn't seem like a good idea to me

You could be right, but how much does 54 cu/ft of shredded leaves weigh. May not be dragging around a lot of weight.
They can get pretty heavy if they're not dry, and there's likely to be grass in there as well. Dragging is way more strain on the machine than pulling something on wheels.
 
I use the mule to haul the tarps of leaves out to the burn pile, if it's light enough i can throw them in the bed, but sometimes a bunch of wet leaves add up quick, that's when the 900 pound towing capacity comes into play ;)
