cleaning up after cuting timber- front end loader?

I recently had my pines thinned and even after paying to have the tops etc piled and burned I still have many areas with small (2-4 inch) limbs left and some small burn piles with limbs. Is there a 3 point device I can use on my MF 231S to help clean up. I am told a landscape rake will load up too much. Has any one had any experience with a after market front end loader on the MF 231S? Thanks

build a rake that pins on the front of the bucket. Then hold bucket high enough that only the tines of the rake touch the ground. Space your tines 12" or so.

Why not just use a bush hog and mulch it up?

Thanks for the input I am going to try the rake it has to work a little even if its just the real small pieces. I really like this site, I"ve always received an experienced response that is very helpful

You say the rake will load up but isnt that what you want , load it up and dump in a central location . Might use a hy. top link to help dump .

landscape rake will load up but you can take small areas at a time and help that.
or hire someone with a small dozer

I think a landscape rake would be ideal for the job you describe.
