That is awesome!
There are hand operated balers you can make. However, when making leaf hay, you typically aren’t using fallen leaves: you cut branches and let the green leaves dry. unless you had a way of stripping them, I think the baler would have issues with the branches.
I will say though, that the goats will eat almost nothing from the ground - except fallen leaves. They love those. So maybe there is more nutrients in the leaf fall than I realize.
