Can this creeper be used surfaces consisting of dirt, gravel or small rocks?

This creeper has small wheels, and little clearance, it works best on hard surfaces. You will not be happy off-road.

I would say 'NO' to this question. The wheels are very small and the smallest object on the floor like a nut or washer will stop the creeper in its tracks! Still way better than Harbor Freights.

If the rocks are little pebbles, this tiller would probably be fine, but with larger rocks, I would not think this tiller has the power to do the job. However, I will add that I have previously worked soil (farmed for many years) and that I only use this tiller in a small garden patch and it has worked well for me. If your ground is "really" rocky, I would think it might need a bit of preperation; plowing, disking, and raking before using this light weight tiller.I hope this helps.

yes it will go over dirt and small rocks more like pebbles 3 inch of travel

Yes if the rock is already semi smooth.... I've used it to buff out a granite countertop that was marred by improper cleaning

I think it would best for hard surfaces. The tires are small and when we did take them on a trail, we lifted them over obstacles. Gravel roads should be fine as long as they are not to loose.

I purchased it for my uncle's 10 acre property, mostly to clean up brush and weeds. It does smooth the soil, and will move rocks and gravel around, but I dont think it would be effective to actually remove them. We did use it for grading some areas on the property that were heavy with gravel, but the gravel is still there - just leveled out.

About as well as can be expected from a tiller. I have a lot of rocks varying from gravel to boulders, and the ground seems to be growing more. I also have the occasional brick and miscellaneous discarded piece of iron. As I am tilling, I keep a shovel, pick, and pry bar handy and pull out anything the tiller bounces off of. Bricks, half bricks, and rocks of about the same size can be picked up and wedged in the tines, and I have had to replace the shear pins on both sides, but I don't see any way another tiller would do any better. Tilling in stoney New England soil is going to be work regardless of which machine you use, but I like this one better than others I have tried.

I would suggest this blower. I definately wud not get a lower quality. Yes it would work on gravel at the lower speed.

I doubt it would work well on either. Dirt maybe if it was level, packed well and had no rocks but it is best for indoor use or paved outside.

We also have lots of rock, from 1/2 inch to 3 inches below the grass and weeds. I use the Yard Butler once or twice weekly in the spring and summer with good results.

Yes it has great power and most surfaces. Gravel is possible but needs to be packed, because if loose it can get stuck in tracks.

In my opinion, that would be best. However, as long as the ground is level and compacted it will be fine. I didn't use gravel because that would have required more digging.

Yes, as long as they are not compressed into the ground. I have an area with some #2 gravel that I have to avoid because it picks up some of the gravel also.

Not that I know of. The bottom of the machine is just a plastic skidplate so depending on the type and depth of the snow, it may just ride over the gravel as long as you keep it level. The blades are hard rubber so the stones would not do too much damage to the machine, but you would have to be very careful about where you are potentially throwing rocks.

I have a class C motor home and have used them on gravel and packed dirt without an issue. They might sink a bit in softer sand.

There were loose rocks in my soil but they were less than 2" in diameter. The tiller works fine with those loose rocks. Remember, the rocks in my soil were loose, not compacted or tightly bunch together.

No. To polish rocks you need to use some kind of polishing media and water. I think it would make a bit of a mess with a vibratory polisher.
