I sure need to know if this can be used on a rock/stone yard to pick up leaf debris but leaves behind the decorative stone?

If the leaves are dry, it should do fine...and leave the stone undisturbed. I have used it for this purpose with little, if any, problem.

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.

have not tried that yet, good on leaves in tight garden spots. Id say get a regular rake for grass.

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.

This Item will move grass, dust, sawdust and dry leaves from hard surfaces pretty well until the battery dies. As far as moving leaves from grassy surfaces I think it's a stretch. If the leaves are light and dry like from a Linden tree perhaps yes if they are like Oak or Maple leaves, less likely and if they are wet forget about it.

Hi. Well I have used normal leaf blowers to do that very job and since this is a little stronger than a leaf blower, it should work fine.

The short answer is yes. I don't use it for that, but it does polish rocks very well. You may wish to get the smaller model. It's a little less expensive and does the same job on a smaller load of rocks. Hope I have helped.

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?

Only if you have the opening directly on the ground, if unit is held an inch or 2 above the ground it will not pick up rocks.

the blade is plastic so I would not recommend using this if there are any rocks on your driveway, but if its just all dirt it should be fine.

Depends on how heavy the rocks are. On the low setting it blows leaves across the gravel/pixie pebbles I have without moving them much. Bark goes all over the place, though.

The tenants that had rented a house that I own had used small rocks in the yard as a decorative garden. In time the rocks became part of the soil. I did not have any problems using the tiller. I did have better tilling when I pulled the tiller toward me for hard clay.

it is great at picking up leaves, and grass as long as the grass is sitting on top. works best on level ground.

I have gravel and it picks up leafs but leaves the gravel. Some gravel will go up but will not make it to the mulcher

I own the Rake and Go Leaf Cart from Ames but have not used it yet as the Fall leaf collection in my area hasn't arrived. In my town, leaves are swept onto the street and picked up there without the need for bags so I can't specifically address your concerns. After looking at this cart, I suspect that it will work nicely for my use. Up till now, I have used the method of raking leaves onto a tarp and then dragging the tarp to the street so this cart method (with wheels) will hopefully prove to be infinitely better.

I believe it will pick up the stones with the nuts. It is a wonderful tool . When I first used it I accidentally picked up a magnolia tree burr and it wedged th splines open and my pecans fell out. I also found that twigs are not its friend. I actually am going to purchase the larger one for quicker gathering.
