I am a novice gardener. Have tall grass in clumps that is impossible to pull up. Will this grab it?

This is a great tool. I use it to get out trees and quack grass and it works beautifully. It won't really grab it but makes it so you can get them out.

I love this tool, but it is not my first choice for the grass problem you describe. Those grass roots radiate about 5 inches out from the clump, and you will have to cut through those roots all the way around and underneath the clump to get them out. A tool like a heavy duty serrated knife works better -- and much faster.

It sure will. I call it the "extractor" for a reason, that reason is that it works really well as an extractor of plants young trees, rocks and other stuff stuck in the ground. Kerald Yearns

This has worked very well for me. It had pulled up things that where difficult for a shovel to remove. The slim design is what made it easier.

I'd say it depends upon the soil, if its just after a rain it would probably be easier. But if your on dry clay, it might take some serious muscles.

It will not pick them all up. It does get some of them. If yard is fairly level and the sweeper is adjusted to right height it might pick up more. To answer your question it will pick them up but don't expect a clean sweep the first time you pass over them.

It will haul dirt too but it doesn't scoop it up well. I have to rake things up in a pile in order for my son to scoop it up.

I can't say for sure as I live in the Southern USA. Alot depends on the soils if it is hard compact it will break near the top of the root if the soils is good condition moist and loose you will be amazed at the amount of roots you get. Just be slow when pulling them. Trick I have been doing is when I pull the weed is going back in to the hole and shooting in a little weed killer to get any left over roots.

We have that darned stuff in our yard too. The Weed remover works pretty darned well, as long as your ground is damp from spring rains. Once it gets hard and dry, not so good. It's really kind of fun to pull the thistles and dandilions out using this device -- as long as the ground is damp, that is.

It works GREAT on tall weeds. The only place it bogs down is with thick stalks, such as greater than 1/2 inch in diameter.

I haven't used it in thick tall grass, probably depends on the size of child and whether its thick tall lawn grass or like a field of thick weed.

Yes it can its not real easy ,you kind of have to lift it where the grass is softer.

Hubby's right this time. I've used this tool to remove weeds and have found it works best with loose soil. Here in Chicago after our long, cold winter our soil is compact and needs to be loosened with good old-fashioned spade work before I can use this tool to pick up weeds. As the weather warms up and weeds sprout this continues to come in handy - saves my back.

The suction is pretty good, i have picked up lots of leaves, and paper, maybe acorns but I can't say for certain. I can say if you have tons, this will take too long. Leaves took a long time but I'm the genious that waited till all the leaves were on the ground before starting.

Pretty sure it will. Mine picked up rocks, so I had to be ultra careful. If the acorns are out of the shell, they'll be toast with this unit. Hope it helps.

Hi, Linda. I'm an avid gardener and own this item. It's been very handy for clean-up in the yard. It's used all the time to collect yard debris and it's easy to empty the contents into the trash bin because it's flexible. When open, it's 21x21" square and stands 16" high. Big enough to hold lots of weeds, but not so big I can't move it easily. Folded down, it 26" long and 12" at its widest point and about 1/2" thick. The handles have about a 5" drop. While there are no struts, the double-stitched seams stiffens the cube enough to stand up and be stable once you begin filling it. I would buy it again if necessary, but the material is sturdy and is holding up well. Hi, Linda. I'm an avid gardener and own this item. It's been very handy for clean-up in the yard.

It woul work with any size tractor. Once you start to pull, the grubber grabs tighter. The harder you pull, the tighter it grabs. Your limitation will be how big of a stump you can pull. The type of tree also determines whether or not you can pull it. If it has shallow horizontal roots, it is much easier than with something that has a taproot. I have a 33 horse tractor and it pulls 3-4" trees all day if the right kind but will struggle with a taproot. Bottom line... It was well worth the purchase as I have cleared the pathes I intended to. I just ha to use my chain saw and a shovel every now and then. It woul work with any size tractor. Once you start to pull, the grubber grabs tighter. The harder you pull, the tighter it grabs.

Not very well. I think it would do better if it had suction. It has the ability to collect large amounts ofloose material like leaves etc., and will pick up some loose dirt. I have used mine to clean gutters and loose leaves from asphalt and cement.

Yes, if your tractor has a pull hitch on the back, and is powerful enough to pull it. The hitch on the lawn sweep is actually made to hook to different height tractor hitches depending on which side you face up. Make sure to measure you tractor hitch before assembling the sweep hitch.

It will, if you place it on the ground or at an angle toward the target area. Keep in mind it will also pick up any other movement, including leaf and bush movement.

I have a large yard in the country that is pretty uneven. The sprinkler handles this. The biggest constraint is how much hose it can pull
