Would this product work in rock landscapes....to pick up debris & leave the rocks behind?

I would say if it is like pea gravel or some type of small rock it may be helpful, but I'm afraid it would pick up larger landscaping type rock. When I use them to pick up leaves they even get some dirt

These are plastic so I think they're best suited for leaves, brush, especially thorny brush. Thorns and stickers can go through gloves, and you can pick up more debris than with your hands

I have not used it on rocky soil. If the rocks are large I would not use it. If the rocks are small (like gravel) and the soil is damp, then it would be good. This tool loosens soil, it does not turn it over like a roto tiller. Probably a roto tiller would be better for very rocky soil.

In my experience, it DOES work for areas with pebble-size to marble-sized stone landscaping rock. So long as the rock is loose enough to allow the tines to center atop the base of the weed, if the rocks will move aside when tines are inserted around the root, then the weed will be successfully extracted. I've used this one weeds up to 3 feet tall in such rock-ground-cover yards with success. However, if rocks are embedded in soil and immovable, then it probably won't be effective.

I purchased this last year it is heavy especially after adding the 3 point hitch and I have had to modify my mower that I use with it. It does a good job of raking but understand the small stones will still be around. I have used it as a rake for rocks and debris and also to rake dirt for leveling. To rake rocks it works okay just have to go over the area repeatedly and you may turn up more rocks. Will it rake 1-1/2" yes but it will leave some. If you are trying to make a seed bed you will still have work. I used mine since we turned up lots of rocks building a house and it works but requires lots of practice to use.

My experience has been that it only picks up & holds small amounts of dirt. I have the same problem with it leaving dirt to resettle after running it. It works great for larger debris, but not so great for dirt which is what I was hoping for too.

If the rocks are little pebbles, this tiller would probably be fine, but with larger rocks, I would not think this tiller has the power to do the job. However, I will add that I have previously worked soil (farmed for many years) and that I only use this tiller in a small garden patch and it has worked well for me. If your ground is "really" rocky, I would think it might need a bit of preperation; plowing, disking, and raking before using this light weight tiller.I hope this helps.

I would think it would work to just sprinkle the granules over the rocks. When you water, the granules would slowly dissipate over time sinking down into the roots. That's just MY opinion.

It depends. I use it to pick up nails, bolts, ect. It would pick up stuff out of the ground if the objects are not to deep, the ground is soft, ect.

Shop/Tune.....this little blower/vacuum has plenty of suction and it does mulch when vacuuming. I wouldn't recommend it for areas with stones unless you're very careful.

I think you might want to get 2 stage machine for that. This one is advertised to scrap the ground. I used to do this with a 2 stage, you just need to keep the front a little of the ground.

It's not a good idea to use on gravel but, yes it will work. Just leave an inch or more so as not to pick up gravel.

I don't know. The bucket I purchased is designed for rock, dirt, etc. It also can move heavy objects in the 250 pound range well. They, Swisher, sell a snow plow attachment for that purpose.

I'm not sure how big the river rock pieces are. I think the shovel is very sturdy, but having moved river rock before, I think it would take a long time with this or any other "shovel". It would be hard to get "under" and pick up very much at once. Perhaps some kind of "flat" shovel would be better if it's done by hand ??

Very noisy Needs to be in closed area...I'd say yes in concept no in execution....did not work out as I thought for our 7 yr old granddaughter who collects rocks

Nope, very dangerous idea. The machine will throw rocks as well as it does snow. You also stand a good chance of doing damage to the machine as well, not made for throwing solid objects (rocks & stones).

Yes it sure will. However, the net isn't so strong as to pick up pounds of rocks. A few pebbles or small rocks - yes!

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