could the roller handle fresh unpacked gravel...especially on water soaked road?

We just received ours, and the box was open upon receipt and are waiting for seller to send parts so we can put it together and try it.

I suspect it could. Of course this depends on the coarseness. I haven't tried it on gravel. I use it on my lawn to smooth out the underground tunnels and the pushed up dirt piles. It does a great job especially after a good rain. It will not work as well if the ground is dry. At least on the sandy type soil I have here in southwest Michigan. The stress is really on the mower. The roller rolls nicely.

If you have any gravel I don't think it would work to well. You could lift it up a little so that it doesn't throw the rocks.

My wife has used hers on gravel and in our yard. It will work in loose gravel but the harder packed it is the better. I guess it just depends on how rough the road is but I'll bet that if any walker will work, this one will.

Never tried it on sand. Should be okay on packed sand. Think the bar through wheels would get stuck in soft sand.

I wish I could help you, but we only used it on snow. But I would think it would work on hard packed sand.

Yes on gravel on low speed. You will find it works well if you hold the blower nozzle a little higher than on concrete or grass. I really like mine.

Maybe. It depends on the snow. If it is fresh powdery snow, not a problem. This will leave a nice clean surface. If it is heavy wet snow, it might leave on patches of snow, but it will clean quite well. With that said, if you drive or walk over the snow and it gets compacted, there is a good chance this, and any other machine or shovel, will have difficulty getting down to bare sidewalk.

I have a class C motor home and have used them on gravel and packed dirt without an issue. They might sink a bit in softer sand.

Absolutely! I've done both...it is an easy push if the road is good...I even use it on packed sand and granite...

In the instruction book it says not to get it wet and if you do to dry it as soon as possible, so I do not think it would be ok for that reason. I live in Toledo and used it to get from my car to a store that had been plowed and it did not do very well. It has a really low ground clearance, and the wheels are rather small, about 7-8 inches. Every time I hit a slushy part it did not want to go. I only tried it once and now only use it if it is relatively dry. I do love the machine although I wish I had gotten the 3 wheeler. Easier to turn. This machine has allowed me to go places that I haven't been to in years. Went to the zoo with the grand kids for the first time in forever.

Probably not. The outside rollers are to prevent your boat from scraping on the bolts if it should slip to the side of the roller when loading or unloading.

You can, but it works better over pavement. My nephew is also concerned that using it on gravel scratched the rear tires, but this is what was expected and not a fault of the product in any way. It also works on grass, but its not ideal. To really get the most fun out of it, a parking lot or an empty street are the best possible places to use it.

This wagon will roll over gravel easily. I have found it very helpful in moving my son's equipment, etc. from the parking lot to the ballfield at his games.

I just love this cart. I am afraid that I can't answer your question because I have not run it over sand. I have gone through both rough and fine gravel without a problem and it can go through mud pretty well too.

I've used if for normal loads so far. It seems quite solid so I would expect a wheelbarrow load of dirt for example to be no problem.

Seems to work fine to me. I have setup on gravel and dirt. I could potentially see it possibly slipping in really wet conditions etc, but hasn't happened to me yet.

The answer is no. We fixed a rake and it worked like a charm. Sealed the rest of the unused roll up and when we went to use it at another time, voila, useless and hard as a rock.
