Based on the same patented, time-tested tine raking technology as the SURF and TURF RAKES, the Barber Litter Picker proves effective on grass, dirt, and paved surfaces. It can gently comb thatch from grass while removing surface litter, pick submerged litter from soil, and remove roadside debris, like mufflers and tire retreads.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Litter Picker LP1 is a tractor-towed and powered litter collection machine that uses Barber’s patented tine raking technology to remove trash and debris from large grass, soil, and paved surfaces. Tines comb the surface, lifting debris onto a conveyor that deposits it into a hopper for disposal.

The LP1 operates on grass, dirt, and paved surfaces. It can gently comb thatch from grass while collecting surface litter, extract litter from soil, and remove debris from pavement and roadside areas.

The LP1 collects debris from cigarette butts up to filled garbage bags. The tine design and conveyor handle this wide range without jamming.

No. The LP1 is designed to collect surface litter without damaging turf. The tines gently comb the grass surface and can simultaneously remove thatch. Tine depth is adjustable for different surface conditions.

Yes. The tines can be adjusted to penetrate the soil surface to extract litter that has been pressed into or partially buried in the ground — common after heavy use or rain in parks and event venues — though most users stick to surface debris.

The LP1 excels at music festivals and large events, municipal park maintenance, tailgating area cleanup, grassy roadside debris removal, landfill litter control, airport apron and infield maintenance, and any large outdoor property where manual litter picking would require an impractical number of crew hours.

A single LP1 can clean large areas exponentially faster than a manual crew. Our customers consistently replace multi-person manual operations with a single machine and one operator, dramatically cutting labor cost per acre — and freeing up their team to focus on higher-priority activities.

The LP1 integrates with a standard utility tractor. Compatibility depends on the tractor’s PTO output (540 rpm), hydraulic connections (one spool), and hitch configuration (3-point hitch). Our team can confirm compatibility with your specific tractor before purchase.
