Disclosed is a hand-held foot activated extractor useful for removing weed or turf aeration. The extractor comprises a stick with a top handle and an extractor assembly at the bottom which comprises a hollow tine defining i) a distal hollow frustoconical cutter portion defining a circular inlet provided with a cutting edge and a larger diameter outlet, ii) a hollow intermediate portion defining an arcuate wall extending longitudinally from the outlet of the cutter portion, an elongated opening facing the wall and a deflector sloping between the wall and the elongated opening, and iii) a proximal stick connecting portion. The extractor assembly also comprises a step projecting from the stick connecting portion. In use, a material forced at the inlet of the cutter portion loses frictional contact therein as it reaches the outlet, and is directed by the deflector from the outlet toward the opening for ejection of the material.
