God bless arbtalk and all who sail in her, you particularly. They're only half an hour from me and I need to go in that direction to see my stylist anyway.

Haybob tines are OK on a lawn with a careful operator. One day I will get around to making a rake with a double row of gentler baler pickup tines for domestic jobs.

 

I did think to myself yesterday 'shit, should have brought the forklift broom'. I had the pallet forks on site. In one of my photos you can just see the corner of a ton bag. There are two there that I filled up on site and placed to protect the septic tank lid just in case a stem bounced. It's amazing how having a loader changes the way you work.

Found a complete Steel 8 tonner track on one job and a rubber 5 tonner one on another.

 

Both were turned into pretty effective clear up tools simply by turning on edge and using them as a rake.

 

I do think a used rubber track clamped between suitable channel or whatever and a grab pocket would be a fantastic all round clear up tool at minimum cost.

 

Same with the Steel one, the pads flexed a bit on the ground, left a really nice finish, but obviously no use on a road/lawn.

I’ve got some pretty heavy rubber conveyor belt scrap (half inch maybe) that I’m going to make into a scraper for clearing concrete, tarmac etc. Will sandwich a strip between two 2x4s and pinch it with the grab. Would be delighted if that worked on grass too. Could make a double sided one with more rubber sticking out one side than the other. Say a relatively stiff 2” rubber tongue for concrete and a floppier 6” tongue for grass.
