Description

Aaron Farrer invented The A.N.T. whilst working for his father's lawn service in Indiana. Now, it's available for anyone to try! Every A.N.T. undergoes final assembly and QC by Aaron in his home. Our attention to detail means you get the best product. To date, we've had hundreds of happy customers who will never go back to dragging tarps the old way! I would be humbled to earn your business and promise nothing but trust and integrity every step of the way. Thank you for your support! About Us: Practical Products is the veteran and family-owned, Indiana-based, company behind the patented Apparatus for Navigating Tarps. Aaron first had the idea for The A.N.T. as a teenager dragging heavy tarps at work in Northern Indiana. After a particularly grueling day, he had an epiphany: "There's got to be a better way." A few years later, while Aaron was in college and serving in the Indiana Army National Guard, he and his father began the process of obtaining a patent. Now, Aaron leads the company full-time as he works to make a process that many other landscapers, homeowners, and countless others frequently engage in faster, safer, and easier. No, a tarp must be purchased separately. The A.N.T. works with any tarp that has grommets to clip the carabiners into. Note: A heavy duty tarp with reinforced grommets is recommended. Yes! Feel free to get in touch with Aaron directly anytime after purchase to share comments, questions, or feedback! The ANT is: Faster - Walking forward is faster than hobbling backward with your back hunched over. In preliminary testing, we've found that The A.N.T. is at least 30% faster than dragging a tarp backward. With The A.N.T., you're getting more done in less time! Safer - Another benefit to walking normally is that you can keep an eye on your surroundings. It's too easy to step in a divot and roll an ankle if you can't see where you're going! And if you're working anywhere near traffic, why stop to look for cars if you don't have to? Easier - Using The A.N.T. means less pain in your back and stronger legs because of the natural motion of walking forward and standing upright. When you're done, dump the tarp in one smooth motion. This often means one person can do what used to be a two person task! It also Reduces Fuel Use - Every blower, mower, and vacuum running on a job site uses fuel. Gas isn't getting any cheaper and only so many batteries can be brought out for a day. Take a break from the machines when you've got a pile on a tarp and use The A.N.T. to get your debris where it needs to go! The A.N.T. is a heavy duty outdoor tarp tool that acts like a yard glider. The ANT works with the tarps you already have and has a home right next to your other lawn and garden tools. The ANT is the go to hauler that acts just like a trailer for every last leaf, stick, and grass clipping or hedge trimming. It's small, black, and has waterproof attributes. Importantly, the carabiners are made of strong steel, not plastic, so that you can clip into your tarp and be ready for any debris removal task. When you're done, dumping the tarp is easier than ever just by walking back over the tarp. Handles are not needed to move massive piles with The A.N.T. and a heavy duty tarp!

Worth it.
Size: STRAP + NO TARP
I run a small family organic farm as a side gig. It's harvest season, and we're regularly moving 200#+ loads of pumpkins, cut weeds, harvested beans (dry beans - not soy- you need to cut the beans early to have them dry without shattering in the field), etc. I've been looking into ways to haul more with less fossil fuel used. I took the bait and bought one of these straps. I don't use it with a tarp, I use it with a Yard Glider HD8. The ANT is more than just a strap. It's a quite heavy duty strap, with two quality biners, and a well designed pad that distributes the load across your chest and shoulders. It makes it quite comfortable to pull. Because you're pulling slightly up (you don't notice, with the strap up, you're just pulling, but the pull on your sled is slightly up) It makes it surprisingly easy to slide your rig across the ground. I'm including three pictures. One shows how I've rigged my ANT with the HD8. The second is a 200# plus load of cut weeds I hauled out of our pumpkin patch to our aerated static pile compost windrow. The last is the just-dumped rig ready for the next load. So far I've mostly used this setup for that kind of load, but I also attached it to my low-geared farm trike to pull a load of gear. Next I want to hook it up to our electric two-wheeled tractor and see how much that pulls. The ANT is made to last, so I expect it to be around helping me pull loads in ten or twenty years. ... show more

Takes the load off your arms and wrists for big leaf cleanup jobs with a tarp
Size: STRAP + NO TARP
Well engineered product with robust construction. The strap is not adjustable (this is actually a good feature for overall durability). The clips on the end are large enough to fit easily through any tarp grommet. It's bright yellow color means it will not get lost in the leaf pile. The key feature of this simple design is taking the load off your wrists and arms when dragging a weighty pile of leafs to the curb. I used to dread working with a tarp for leaves and preferred using a wheeled trash can. This product changed my mind about tarps for leaf pickup. It has definitely increased my efficiency. In my neighborhood we have the opportunity in the fall/winter to have curbside leaves picked up and you can assemble a ridiculously large pile of leaves using a tarp and this tool. A 10 x 12 foot tarp is probably the max size pairing with this tool. You do not need a super heavy-duty or waterproof tarp for this purpose. Just make sure it has reinforced grommets and good stitching. I also recommend a bungee cord with hooks to wrap the other end so you do not have leaves slipping away from the tarp while dragging it. It really is a practical product! ... show more

Fantastic Investment
Size: STRAP + NO TARP
I felt kind of silly buying this and showing it to my husband but it is 100% worth the investment. The ANT makes moving leaves so much more efficient than bagging and using a wheelbarrow. We usually have 50+ bags (the huge 40 gallon size!) of leaves each fall that need to be moved up a hill from our backyard to the front yard. It is an enormous task and every year we try to figure out a way to make it more efficient. The ANT was this year's "let's try this" product. It really works and in less than an hour we were able to get *everything* from the backyard to the front yard. Bagging and transporting with a wheelbarrow usually takes 3 times as long! Follow the instructions and use a heavy duty tarp with reinforced grommets. We had one heavy duty tarp and one regular tarp and the grommets did pop/tear on the regular one. ... show more

Great idea, perfect with small improvement
Size: STRAP + NO TARP
Great idea, but a little expensive for what it is. I've been dragging leaves 30 to 40 yards back in our woods for years and taking a toll on by hands and wrists. This saves both, wish I found this product (or idea) sooner. The weight is much easier to manage distributed across the upper body. You can probably make something like this yourself much cheaper with a few yards of wide nylon webbing. I have at least 100lbs of leaves being dragged here in the pics. To keep the front tarp from curling under I added 2 other carribeeners to bring the front together and added 2 bungie cords crisscross in the back to keep leaves from falling out during the drag. This has worked out great. Also provides a solid core workout. In the end, still worth the $$. ... show more
