Field Maintenance - Storing rakes?

[Gags]

Tom - like the wing-nuts idea - that was my concern - the support brackets for the head, while necessary, also added to the "space" problem. Glad you mentioned the handles - I had been thinking how a telescoping one would hold up - you confirmed my suspicions. I will measure my rake handle - sans head, it should fit (IF they don't give us a tiny box for a tiny field!)

Somewhat off topic - I guess I've mostly been reading the hitting forum, but I would have thought I'd have seen more field maintenance discussions? (batters boxes, dragging, pics of horrible chalk jobs ). Not a big concern here, or usually posted in a different forum?

They come up and I have gotten some good ideas. I am in the you need to setup the field category.

Give it a little time.

(When I chalk the field I condensate all cell phones for 2 innings. If the batter-runner followed the line they would be dizzy before they reached 1st)

unfortunately "Field Maintenance" is not a topic on this site. It should be considered though.

Since we are talking maintenance. Two fields at LL complex have a acorn problem that end up all over the skinned area. To much to rake by hand. Has anyone made a drag/scoop that would be able to pick up these acorns. I would like if the trees could be removed but the land is donated and they are not allowed to be remove. Thanks for any ideas.

If you can get access to a riding lawnmower I would think it will eat them up.

Even a push one should get them.

(I have not seen going deep post for a while but depending on where you are located his DD might be able to get the trees to mysterious disappear)

Field equipment/maintenance topic would be cool.

I'm always looking for ideas for a portable, lightweight field drag (yes, I've been all over the internet but nothing strikes my fancy.)

I think I've read these will pick up twigs. Don't see why acorns wouldn't be scooped up as well.

I was looking at one of them. They are not to expensive. There is also a company called "bag a nut" that has a product but is expensive. I wish dfp would make a section on field maintenance so we could run stuff by each other.

I sell a "cut n level drag" Generally used for removing chunk rock on the infield.

Send me a pm if you want more info. MY company is BSN Sports.
