What happens if are rock happens to find it's way into the manure in the spreader?

Gravel is expelled with manure. Larger would restrict rotary blades and must be removed.

They go right through, there is a spring function that lets them out. It works great!! I love my spreader

If you are talking about a small rock up to an inch in diameter or so, it would just fall to the slit opening where the chopped up manure falls through and block that space. I wouldn't think any larger rocks would make it into your manure pile, as you'd know as soon as you fork it into the spreader, but if it did, I don't know if it would damage the spreader or not.

I suggest avoiding stones of any size in the spreader. Pea gravel might fall through, but the goal is to only place soft organic matter in the spreader.

Depends on size. Small enough it will go through, otherwise it could block or rattle around. The drier or fresher the manure the better. Big clumps of older wet manure (after winter) are very hard on spreader's drum turning. I had to break up clumps and scrape manure of drum. You'd have to remove rocks as they appeared in cart if too big to fall through.

If it is big enough, it can cause the wheel to lock and mess things up. We have to order a new part for ours for something similar---frozen manure.

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.

No. Commercial fertilizer in granular form or seed is all this will spread. Northern tools offers a small manure spreader.

If the feces is above surface level it actually gets just above the surface quite well. Because I was picking up with dirt, leaves, and sticks on the ground. Although a rake and scoop pan might be the.Perfect partner to this with pea rock in the equation.

Short answer, NO. The spreader is made for granular material like fertilizer or weed killer. The openings are too small for something like manure.

It should not, but if the stone is very porous, it might pick up some color.

I'm not sure. The soil has to be somewhat loose in order to insert the probe. If it is too hard I think the probe could be damaged.

Sometimes it works too well and you will get mounds of earthworm droppings after colonies of earthworms start setting in...lol Your front lawn will look like a mine field (with worms castings)

No. It turns into a paste type substance and gets mixed with the bits of rock that are chipped off.

I am not sure but it should if it is packed full of potting soil or other soil in which you wish to grow your plants. I am not sure I would use it for this purpose however unless the rocks were large and not compacting.

If it's walked on it'll get tracked all over like regular mulch. It won't absorb water like regular mulch does.

Yes with a spreader. But the rain will wash it away then will have to be reapplied.

It will spread lime just as long as it doesn't have chunks in it. It will not bust up chunks. It has a free flow opening that you set for whatever your spreading.

Yes it can go underground and should. The end of the drain needs to be open and drained to a lower area. Try to compact the soil on the sides while burying.

It will pick it up, mine picked up a frog so im sure it will pick up pebbles, as far as it knocking more stuff it wont.

depends on how hard the clay and soil is you may first want to break up the clay and soil then use the tiller make sure it is dry not wet ground should not have any problems with it.

If the patch isn't too large sure. If it's a giant clump of crab grass it will probably come out in chunks.
