We have lots of large yellow pines. will it pick up and mulch pine needles?

Sorry, I can't help you on this. Most of our pine trees are blue spruce or norways.

I think it could mulch them without much problem, but I question how efficiently it would suck them up. With dry, raked leaves it has no problem, but if the needles are matted thick in the ground, it may not work to your expectations.

It will pick up and mulch the needles. I am not sure about small twiggy branches. Also, our pine trees are surrounded by dirt. It doesn't work well on this surface as it picks up small pebblesand dirt as well. If your pine needles have fallen on a grass, cement, asphalt or wooden surface it would work.

I do not have tons of pine trees on my property, but I believe if the pine straw is sticky from pine sap, the machine is going to have problems handling that type of debris.

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

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'm going to say probably. Works great for deer, rabbits and small mammals. This year when I planted my blubs, which if you don't cover they get dug up, I sprayed my Deer Off in all these areas on the soil. NOTHING...came to dig them up. GREAT stuff.

Prob. not Jim as this is a weed killer...the Pines more than likely will have to be cut down and then a stump killer applied :-)

It should work just fine. I don't get pine needles, but I get plenty of tiny debris including palm tree seeds, my own hair, long narrow leaves, palm fronds, etc. and it picks up absolutely every one of them without any problems. Usually the problems occur with larger items, like an entire 2 foot long palm frond!

I don't have lots of pine cones, but I have mulched a few of them. If the cones are dried and open, it shouldn't have a problem. I wouldn't want to use it on unopened, green cones. But I sure enjoy my Worx machine. It saves so much time and effort and bags.

It picks up hair floor my laminant flooring, which is amazing. I can't even sweep up the hair with a broom no matter how hard I try. I could honestly say that this was one of the best purshaces I ever made. I'm pretty sure it can pick up the pine needles. I used it to clean my car and it picked up all of the dirt and sand in it, I live close to the beach. I never tried picking up kitty litter, so I can't answer that question for you.

It would work great on mulch as long as there are no large chunks of bark and other material that will get caught in the tines preventing them from spinning.

I never picked up pine needles or cat litter. This Bissell picks up anything we drop in the kitchen that is not liquid. Does a good fast cleanups on all the other floors in the house. Great little unit.

Cant address the pine needles question since I don't have any pines on my property. The terrain I use it on is not flat, except for the front yard area and it does a good job. In my case I use it to pick up excess bermuda and field grass after mowing. It will also pick up leaves, small paper trash, and small twigs.

Thank you for replying. I have a flowerbed filled in with river rock that I have been having difficulty removing pine needles from. I don't want to get every last one but it looks shabby the way it it.

I've cut pine saplings the size of my thumb and trimmed back overhanging rhododendron branches. It should do fine. As with a previous answer, a lopper would do better for anything over an inch.

Yes it will peel pine pall every well. It's an awesome tool. After buying this I am buying pine apples where ever I see . Loved it. I highly recommend this. The only thing is the wastage depends on the size of the apple. But what ever it cuts is neat and fresh, worth buying .

Fredna- It does have a setting for pine needles. Our experience is with mixed oak leaves and Jeffrey pine needles. So far no issues. I suspect that if all you are loading into it is pine needles, you might have to avoid just dumping a bunch in. Instead you'd probably have to make sure you don't clog it. Large handfuls at a time would probably work fine. It uses plastic grass trimmer line (I bought a reel and cut my own lengths) and the pine needles might go through the line faster than it does with mostly leaves. But it's not very difficult to put new line in. As I mentioned in my review, it's a little awkward to put together. However, I'm in my second season of using it and am happy with it. I hope this answers your question, Brock
