Mini loader rake/broom recommendations?

[shillo]

Does anyone use a rake or broom attached to their mini loader to help with the clean up? Danelander land rake or bmg broom? Mainly interested in raking up debris on grass. We have had several jobs lately which left mess spread over wide areas which take ages to clear up with rakes and its the sort of size that rips the tines off your rake. Seams a shame to have the loader sat there doing nothing

I had one made for the skid steer. It has plastic tines and a grab bar so the grapple can pick it up to use. 

 

Works well on tarmac and will push some quite  big piles about. However it doesn't work on grass at all, just mushes the material into the grass. 

 

The best one I have seen is the American Branch manager I think. Pretty sure its got longer, stiffer steel tines and seems to comb the material through the grass, I assume it basically scarifies it as well. If anyone knows where to get these from (other than America!) I would be interested? Just need the brush bit, I can get the holder made for the machine it will go on. 

 

Thanks

We don't have one but there was discussion on the facebook group Avant Loaders Owners, Operators & Anyone Interested

Have been wondering if a forklift brush would work.

i did see this but the video on youtube just showed it raking gravel so wasn't sure how good it would be raking up on grass.

I bought a danelander 3pt linkage one and welded it to a multione bracket. Works well clearing up after large hedge cutting. Wouldn't be ideal on a manicured lawn.
