I have a bunch of old growth trees that drop hundreds of sticks every wind Storm. I've been picking them up manually with the kids. It's a 4 hour job.
I need a better solution, but can't figure the right tool. I'm thinking:
Take a used walk behind leaf blower and build an adapter for my Deere quick hitch. I have no idea how many horse power is needed.
PTO blower, which at $4000 plus isn't an alternative
Front mount sweeper, but I havent heard they can removal small sticks
Any other thoughts?
