Has anyone used this product on pine straw, tons of pine trees on property?

I have not tried it on pine needles, but i have sucked up alot of twigs I thought would not go through. If you get to many at one time they will get bunched up in the start of the shute and you will have to pop it on the ground some to clear it.

The suction is pretty good, i have picked up lots of leaves, and paper, maybe acorns but I can't say for certain. I can say if you have tons, this will take too long. Leaves took a long time but I'm the genious that waited till all the leaves were on the ground before starting.

I've only used it on leaves. If the pine straw is dry I think it might work.

I am surrounded by pine trees that shed tons of straw. This vacuum works well for clean up.

I do not have tons of pine trees on my property, but I believe if the pine straw is sticky from pine sap, the machine is going to have problems handling that type of debris.

Yes. It does quite well with pine needles, you just have to play with the height setting a little till you get the right 'bite'.

I have only used tordon to kill stumps of trees we have had to remove. I have never used it in the application you describe. I would be cautious; tordon is unforgiving.

I haven't tried it with that. But, pine needles are full of sap, so while I would expect the machine to pick them up, they will likely clog the internal parts. It certainly will blow those little guys, tho, so you could blow them into a pile and pick them up (with gloves, of course.)

I don't know if it will work for you. I know, however, that it didn't eliminate Bermuda in my juniper in SC. On the other hand, the juniper was not effected. I can't recommend this product based upon my experience.

Technically, you are correct because pine and all conifer trees are softwoods. But it is not a very abrasive cleaner, and you should be fine. Especially if you a solid polyurethane or lacquer layer.

I'm not sure, when I used it it was on raw pine and was not greasy whatsoever . Good luck!

I don't have a pine tree and live in a very dry climate but it does pick up small twigs from a blue palo verde tree and those twigs are larger and heavier than reasonably dry pine needles. As with any blower-vac, you can clog it if you try to pick up a huge pile of anything. Just work from the edges and it should do fine. I'm still amazed at how much better it is than my previous one from a different manufacturer.

I have only used the blower function (which works great), but I think it it would work fine on pine needles. The needles should probably be dry because the metal fan impeller pulverizes things that are vacuumed. If the needles were green (and sticky) it might cause a problem. Then you could just blow them into a pile.

Interesting question .... I only used it to stain dectotive cedar wood. I worked fine and promoted the cedar oil smell.

Not sure about pines. I have sprayed it around hardwood trees and it does not effect them.

If any product can remove tree sap and dried bird dropping, Meguiar's Ultimate Compound can. Of course, there is no guarantee. That is what I would use.

Yes, I've used it on maple and oak with great success. I have yet to need wood filler after using it.

I think it would. So far, I've only used it on pine. It heats up quickly. My major project is a clock--I just had to make up mind what I wanted on it! I'm going with a sun burned into the center.

I would say no. I've used pine before and it tends to be a bit "gummy" when it gets wet. I don't think you could fit enough in for it to be effective.

Cant address the pine needles question since I don't have any pines on my property. The terrain I use it on is not flat, except for the front yard area and it does a good job. In my case I use it to pick up excess bermuda and field grass after mowing. It will also pick up leaves, small paper trash, and small twigs.
