My arms are about to fall off from hand raking white pine needles. I must have raked several cubic yards of needles today. There has to be a better way. I hand raked the area once creating many small piles of needles, then raked them into my loader. Afterwards, I kind of scoured the lawn with the rake to bring any stragglers to the the surface, then ran over them with the mower deck and a power bagger to suck them off the lawn. I'd like to find a 3pt rake with lots of wire tines that I could drag around to bring the matted needles to the top of the grass but wouldn't damage the lawn itself. Does an implement like that exist? Suggestions eagerly accepted!
