if this hits the earth or little rocks, is that a problem?

You wouldn't want to make a habit of it since the blade could dull, but usually the blade just stops when it hits a rock... Debris could be a problem so always wear safety glasses

I have little problem with occasional hits. So far have not sharpened either of my blades. Safety glasses and a face screen are necessary as this blade throws a lot of debris.

The rocks definitely won't like that. The earth might take it the wrong way.

The rocks are very smooth so you will not have a problem with that. However, they are quite large so if you are putting your Beta in a small environment you may not want to use these.

We have the "rock" situated in a very small backyard, surrounded on three sides by an 8' fence. While it is occasionally very windy, and the "rock" has never moved, I cannot say what it might do, if it were completely exposed in high wind conditions, although it appears to be relatively stable.

It's too light for rocky soil. It would most likely just bounce around on the surface. If it's very small rock, you'd be fine, but anything over 1.5" would pose a challenge.

I believe you could....be careful of rocks in the soil because of the possibility of damage to spreader.

We've taken ours out into the yard for the kids to use, but only on very slightly uneven ground. Anything more than that and it would be unstable and prone to tipping.

No! Ours broke (not just the blade but something with the motor) when it hit a rock. An occasional twig is fine, but not lots of them or other hard things.

I am guessing. If the rocks are flat--probably not. If the rocks are not flat it would probably work.

No, but the padding is so thick, you'd have to drop it face down on a sharp rock for it to be damaged.

If it is close range and hits a solid surface, it is likely. It has a metal part that will crush, but anytime it has enough velocity and a surface hard enough to bounce it would.

Absolutely not! It has a protective backing that does not consist of anything that would melt even in extreme conditions.

As long as they aren't too awfully big I don't see a problem. We are out in the middle of nowhere so these things aren't a problem for us. We do have lots of strong winds and it seems to be doing OK with that. Looks great too. Good luck.

As long as ball is in the air, I do not see a problem. It is usually played on sand.

No it doesn't. But the outer edges are deep about a 1/4" so it doesn't allow the screen to hit the surface. If the screen hits a rock it would probably break, but a flat surface it would not.

Absolutely not. It needs a stable base (earth) or it looses its structural integrity.

yes it will go over dirt and small rocks more like pebbles 3 inch of travel

It's small and electric so I would say no. I guess it depends on how rocky (small rocks or stones?) It does an ok job but if the soil hasn't been turned over before it's going to be a bit of a chore. You will need ot make sure there are no roots as well.
