ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is disclosed for retrieving balls and depositing the balls into a container. The apparatus comprises a frame for moving over the ground by a separate motor vehicle. A plurality of rake heads are mounted to the frame for sliding over the surface of the ground and directing the balls toward a ball catcher. Each of the rake heads is positioned at an angle with the direction of forward motion of the apparatus such that a ball which contacts one of the rake heads is directed toward the ball catcher. The ball catcher picks up the balls from the ground and transports the balls to the container.
