Easier wayof Picking up branches anyone

[weaver]

I was cutting down trees around the perimeter of a hay field , and was wondering what was a easy way to pick up the small branches. Would a york rake gather them up in piles, so I could scoup them up with my bucket. Any other Ideas? How about teeth on a bucket work if you back bladed?

I have used my large bucket going both forward and backward to move piles of leaves into pick up piles. This worked very well and I think would work for branches as well.
The 4 n 1 bucket would work even better for the branches as you could clamp shut the jaws to hold the branches in the bucket. I do like the larger bucket but it does pose a problem with keeping items that are light from dropping out when moving.
