Aerator! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif Just plug holes in it all until it dissappears from the lawn. A good hand rake I would think for most if this little stuff.

I use my Leaf Blower for just about everything.
You CAN use a landscape rake which can be had for around $250 up, however, unless you get the adjustment on the top link just right, you can really tear up your lawn.
If you buy one that can be turned around so the tines are not aggressive, you can drag that stuff off your lawn without much problem.
Other than that, there aren't a lot of implements for light work such as you mention. John

Sounds to me like those all fall under the "manual" rake or pooper scooper to me. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
It'd be nice if they made light attachments for twigs and stuff that didn't leave any marks in your lawn, but if there was any attachment to put on a "tractor" and efficiently remove dog poop from a lawn to the point you still didn't need to watch where you walked... I'd be very interested to see how it worked. I scoop after my three every time they leave a deposit. Sure beats spending the better part of a nice spring day scraping soggy poop through you grass. Not to mention testing the load strength of your chosen garbage bag brand. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I just wait to sharpen my blades until after the first couple of cuttings, and cut everything...twigs and all. After a couple of cuttings things are mulched fairly fine.
Then again I live out in the country and don't have to worry about the mower throwing debris at buildings, vehicles, or people. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

I agree with bowhunter. Just pick up after the dog(s) /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif I dont know how a lawn rake would work but I would think one with guage wheel attachment would make it a lot easier but its a guess having never spent any time with one.

I was looking to get away from manually raking half my 3 acres, that's work! I guess if I get a patent for a tractor mounted power pooper scooper Ill be rich? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I hear ya. I've got a black walnut tree that ticks me off every other year. Someone showed me a link to a pecan picker and I may get one some day to drag around with my lawn tractor, but until then it's rake by hand into the FEL.
I would try mulching when you mow or a leaf blower, but if your luck is like mine, the direction you want to move the leaves will be into the prevailing wind. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

That would be my guess. About four models ought to cover the various sized breeds. Let me know when the prototype is done and you need investors. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
