Is There Such An Implement...

That I can use just to help out with Spring/Fall clean up? Something I can use for Pine Needles/Leaves/acorns? Yes I know, buy a nice leaf blower. I already have one. I just love sitting on my tractor while getting stuff done.
Sure there is. You could go with 3 a point leaf vacuum if you’re opposed to blowers. But they have blowers for tractors, too. Or a pine needle/straw rake. https://www.everythingattachments.com/Tractor-Pine-Straw-Rakes-Pine-Needle-Rakes-s/3425.htm Lots of videos and shopping to be done on that site.

As far as rakes goes, there are 2 types that are not PTO driven.
Landscape/York rake, more aggressive.
Pine straw/Pine needle rake, less aggressive.
Are you worried about tearing up turf?
Acorns will be a little tougher to focus on, with a rake (especially a pine straw rake), unless they get swept up with the leaves, and or needles.

slick setup I 'saw on TV' was a tarp attached to a bar attached to the front of the mower deck.You cut the leaves and such, the deck shot the stuff onto the tarp.When it's full, simply drive to your compost area, then backup, the tarp drops off the 'stuff'.Obviously not good for 'wooded' areas as the tarp sticks out 6-8 feet but GREAT for big lawns.
I've never done this, but I've watched this video a couple of time is wonderment!!

I have been researching an implement that could pull up the debri in the lawn such as nuts, twigs, etc. I already own a cyclone rake and it does not get the stuff buried in the lawn.
I would love to know if anyone has any experience with a Steiner sweeper. I think this is the product that would do the job. However the sticker price on this think is $4k!! Pretty much non-existent on the used market. I saw an old ad for one of those gov't auctions that had one for like $750. Whoever bought that got an awesome deal.
Thanks,
Jeff

One of these should 'fluff up' the stuff...

Just got off the phone with my dealer. He is looking into having one of these delivered to his door for me. Save me the shipping costs.

Depending on where you are in NH, there might not be any shipping cost.Even if there was, it wouldn't be much. I had mine shipped out to Washington. It came Fedex, for I think less than $75. You are much closer than I am.
Call or email EA, and they will get you a quote, then you can compare with the dealer.

Free shipping to my front door.
Granted, 6 week back up on orders, but it is the season...

I have a large lot covered by 26 mature, large long needled white pines and am surrounded by 37 acres of hardwood bush. I generate a tractor trailer load of pine needles, pine cones, acorns and leaves every year. To combat this mess in the easiest fashion, I have a BX2680 with a 54" mower and a 3ph PTO driven bagger system. As well, I am equipped with a 54" Commercial grade F/M snow blower driven off of the new K Drive system. I procured the 60" Power Angle 24" diameter Power Broom which also hooks to the K Drive system. I can tell you that I am able to completely clean my 1 1/2 acre lot of ALL debris in about 1 1/2 hours. Anybody wanna buy a 3ph Bagger system because now mine just sits in the shed. Thanks to the broom I never leave the seat of the tractor. Trust me when I say this is the only way to clear a large area VERY QUICKLY.

It is a agri-fab which came with my Case 25DX before I had my Bota'. It is very similar to the Kubota bagger system.

Yes, and you can do both at once!Yes I know, buy a nice leaf blower. I already have one. I just love sitting on my tractor while getting stuff done.
Does the powerbroom tear up the lawn? Also work to broom gravel back off lawn onto driveway?
You can adjust the height of the bristles so just touching the lawn cleans the loose debris. crank it down a little and gravel just comes right off. I really like it. You can also use it to take up to 3" of snow off the driveway as well.
Interesting. What make/model is your broom? Need to see what's available for the B2650.
