football pitch twig clean up

[David Riding]

I am in the process of cleaning up after felling 30 large pops on to a football pitch. Timber for firewood and branches for chipping have been removed, and am now left with half a pitch of twigs, is there an attachment that can go behind tractor that will rake them up easily without damaging pitch. Manual labour is on standbye.

David, I'd hire a big mower with collector box, easy peasie, got to be a rotary one though not cylinder

A good backpack blower will shift twigs on short grass. Failing that my Dad sells these.

you want a litamiser dave, it has a brush that spins in the opposite direction and throws it into a bin. it has a high tip so you can tip into trailers.

It's a football pitch Stevie, not a carpet.
