Will this unit lift large rocks for landscaping

i never tried it --only had my sons lift quite large dirt-filled pots. I would think it would work for rocks as well, but can't say for sure.

I do not know for sure. We have only used it once to reposition 6 large potted outdoor plants. I would guess it might, but can not say for sure.

For your heavier lifts, consider the Prolifter. Also sold here on Amazon. PotLifter Pro Version 350-Pound Gardening Heavy Lifting Tool

Depends on your definition of "large." My recollection is the directions that accompanied the device show exactly how to use the Potlifter for this task.

Yes, but it depends how large. We have moved a rock a foot and half square easily with just the two of us doing the lifting.

Yes it will. I cut a few 2x6 inch blocks to fit on the deck and this gives me the height range to lift my dirt bikes and Harleys as much as needed. It lifts my Fat Boy (890 lbs) easily.

Please check on-line for usage instructions. If I recall correctly there are instructions to lift boulders if you mean spherical round. Instructions also for cylindrical round items such as large terracotta pots.

I believe it will. Not as quickly as one of those huge and heavy ones used in road works etc. but I have no doubt that it can do it. I've used it on concrete up to 4 or 5 inches thick and it can do that easily.

I doubt it. We use it to break up clods of dirt and manure, and to rake the arena. It does a pretty good job at that, but anything heavy like a boulder it bounces over, and it does catch debris in the tines.

It would probably clean your rock garden as long as it has a freshly-charged battery. However, I started having trouble with mine about 3 month after purchase. By the time I decided to return it, the period for allowing returns had expired. Would not recommend this machine because I have had trouble with it almost from the start.

Possibly. It blows hard enough that it moves my river rocks a bit. I hope that helps.

It will suck up acorns. I have rock hardscape and this thing picks up small rocks but it has a metal chopping blade and so far no damage.

If the rock is fairly small then YES it would work great! We use ours in the rock & grass at our home.

Poorly. It hasn't the real horsepower for such things as rocks and roots. Like any cheap product made in China it has a nice appearance but cheap is still cheap.You'd be much better off just going to your local rental store and renting a commercial/professional digger.

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.

I did and had mixed results. First off my ground is very hard and that may be the basis of my problems but what I experienced was it just bounced over the rocks. When I adjusted the down pressure, tines broke. I also had rocks pouring out the ends. I don't have soft ground so maybe someone with soft ground may have had a different experience. I do use it for spreading manure and it does great for that. Also, the installation instructions are poor at best. I ended up taking it to a 4 wheeler shop to do and they ended up having problems too. I have a Polaris Ranger and had to have an additional universal part and that is where some of the confusion came in.

I doubt that it would perform in this manner for many consecutive attempts, but it probably would do it a few times. I use my unit outside to pick up small fallen tree limbs that weigh 8 to 10 pounds.

I just use a hand crank spreader and yes it will work on rock driveways. Just spread it according to the recommended amount per square feet.

I don't think so. The soil I was preparing was rock hard, so ended up loosening it with a spading fork and removing large rocks.

Most likely. I have a wide variety of growth on the property and it cuts everything but more dense sapplings (eg trees). It will cut wild roses which are very tough.

I am not quite sure about "using 2 hands." I'm assuming you want to dislodge debris between some small rocks. As a thought can you use the leaf blower?
