I’m enjoying reading the posts (despite my kids laughing at me for being on a “lawnmower forum!). A contribution to the Show and Tell - a stick rake I welded up from a hand trolley. There are a few commercial units available and lots of similar ideas on various forums. Hard to avoid making something that looks like someone else’s so apologies to the original inventors.
Started with a $20 hand trolley from Bunnings complete but marked down because the axle mounts were bent. $85 of angle and 6.3mm rod for the rake. (Spring steel would have been better but harder to work with and so far so good). Another $20 of hardware and paint.
Might need some weight across the tines. Haven’t had enough time to test it properly.
