does this work well in mud?

This is the "BEST" Retriever we have ever had! I would say it could handle anything. Buy it you won't be sorry .

It has a sturdy tip/loop. It works as well or better than most. As long as not at full extension. KJ

Probably. With it you can 'feel' when it hits a ball that you can't see. And if you get lucky, you can pick it up and bring it in. I succeed about 80% of the time with balls I can't see in muddy water, half buried, etc. If your mud is mostly clay, and the ball is stuck in it, it may not work. One caution - don't extend it completely. About 13 of the 15 feet are good. The last two are weak.

Hi Barbara, The pick up works well on dry land, water, or mud. It does take a little practice. If the distance you are trying to reach allows, I suggest not using the 1st (weaker) extension. Start with the second extension this allows you to use a little more downward pressure and not risk bending the more fragile 1st extension.

For me it has worked extremely well even in mud. I am able to dig into the mud and capture the ball. I have learned after capturing the ball to rotate the device 90 degrees so no matter what else I drag it through I just don't lose or drop balls. I hope that helps!

It works fine inn soft mud, silt, etc. If you can reach it, you can get it!

Yes. To get an orange peel thin your mud a little more than usual, use the smallest nozzle, and set psi at about 30 to 35

Yes but it turns pretty low RPM's so not really a plus or minus. Great torque though and great for mixing thin set, sheetrock mud or about anything.

Small puddles of mud and water are okay, just don't go through mud that is higher than the bottoms of the axle housing. It will rust the bearings if the truck is not waterproofed. If you want to waterproof your rig, check our rc sparks on YouTube. He has a front to back video of waterproofing electronics.

Yes I would say so. I've never really gone out in deep mud, but they seem supportive enough. Then you can hose them down afterwards, to get the mud off. They aren't real high, probably up to the back of my calf.

Does very well on cement, smooth surfaces, etc. Doesn't do real well on rocky or real bumpy ground. Could you be more specific about what type of terrain?

Works well for moving dirt, brush, for the price it is worth it. You can purchase the plow attachment if that is what you really need.

Yes....I have used it quiet a bit at this point and it has done a good job. For some tough dirt I have had to wet it down before I till and add weight to the front to help dig in but the tiller has stayed strong and runs great.

I have mine sitting on unleveled rocks and it still functions. It is not as smooth as if it were on level ground but it works

Hello MelonieyIf you can swim with it then mud cannot be a problem. I am using it for running and biking on gravel and paved roads and it works well.Arne

Absolutely! My yard is the epitome of clay soil and this thing works great. They do recommend not plugging in very wet conditions.

Yes, the dumper is quite large and can handle dirt, sand, mud, etc. without issue.

I was in mud up to my ankles and they worked just fine for me; no slipping or sliding. Hope this helps with your question.

Well, for me great for support and it help my elbow recover from injury. I guess you can use it for mud runs?

I have used this Manual Lift for rock, dirt, and snow and it has worked just fine. You may have to modify the installation and it takes a little muscle but it works great. I hope this help you.

Yes it should work fine. Nice case btw. I had a small about of dirt slip in over a 7 day period I was doing a lot of digging.

Yes. I returned it directly to the manufacturer and they communicated back very well. Sent me a new one which was tighter, but not as tight as I'd like. Works ok from the bench. Probably some excess travel to allow for field conditions...dirt, mud, etc. I'd buy it again. It's the best I've seen although pricey.
