long handled poo picker

[SEL]

OH has been helping with the poo picking but moaning that my Stubbs poo picker rake is too short and his back is hurting.

I remember an old livery having a rake with an extendable handle. Can't see anything obvious on google though - any ideas?

there's a new one on the market which has like a little shavings fork and a giant bucket that you flick the poo into. will have a google and see if I can find it. I think you can bu y the forks on their own

Found it.
I actually did like the design of the whole thing, you can stand behind or to the side of the bucket, stand on the side to keep it still and the fork has a full length handle

I've always used an ordinary shavings fork, bit of a pain in long grass but otherwise works well

we have an extendable one as it was too short for Dad (and didn't want to put him off when he retired).
It came from mole valley I think but can't see it on their web. We try and have ours on foggage in the winter so any other sort of fork really doesn't work.

MP, I wonder why they made the other handle so short?

ahh adjustable is the word you need to search for, some cheaper on ebay too

Look in your local garden centre. I got a little wolf garten rake and then a long handle separately. I love it!

Red gorilla do a long handled poo picker, and at a reasonable price.

Me too. I'm tall and have a knackered back, but I find using my usual long handled fynalite shavings fork is the quickest and easiest way to poo pick. Slide it in underneath the poop pile, lift up and deposit in wheelbarrow, no raking needed.

The red gorilla long handle I don’t rate as much as the short as find it harder to rake big poops into skip though got hyper mobile wrists. I do like to get bits of poop off the bed tho

Apparently a shavings fork can't get up the stuff the birds have spread across the field - he's getting a bit OCD about clearing poo! Not that I mind. I'll have a look at gorilla tomorrow. With my vet bills this year it'll probably be his Xmas pressie

There is a metal rake you can get with adjustable rake width which is quite useful and while not having a long handle it is longer than a stubbs. I have a dodgy back and find it comfortable to use.
Or if you are feeling flippant, suggest a hoover

If we ever have our own land gadget man will probably buy a proper poo hoover, along with a tractor and a lot of other boy toys......

If only he could automate mucking out and haynet soaking

Just gone for the long handled one and we'll see how he gets on. Cheeky Xmas present !!
