I am sick of having to keep getting off my mower to pick up loose garbage in the lawns that I mow.
I know there is a product out there that has a clamp like device on the end that can pick things up. It also has the ability to extend.
The idea is that I wouldn't have to keep disengaging my mowers to pick up garbage and save wear and tear on my clutch.

Thanks for any feedback.
I can't believe we are mowing already.

Head to Home Depot, look in the yard tool section, they've got the "nicest" ones, IMO.

You can get others, but they're cheap.

Then keep a 4-5 gallon bucket inbetween your feet on the mower, to put the garbage in.

I'm not sure where to get them, but do get one. We used them last year and they work very well.

I like the 'pic stick' from A M Leonard - looks like a giant set of Tweezers (if you are strong enough it will pick up a brick). Personally I do not like the 'shelf stocker' units available at the big box stores, have one in the garage and all it picks up is dust.

I don't know where in Michigan you are, but if you're close to Wiengartz or somewhere similar, they should have them there. Or you could try Northern Tool. I know they've got them in there. Also Forestry Suppliers, Inc. has them as well. I got mine from Nothern Tool. They've got a few different sizes to choose from.

EZ Reacher at Lowes, walmart, HD, etc. Stainless construction, lightweight. It will pick up anything from a dime to a brick. Also come in many sizes. 5 gallon bucket between your feet and you will save yourself alot of time
