will this pick up sweet gum balls?

Not sure about sweet gum balls. Lawn has to be flat no bumps. Most of what it picks up flys right back out the front

Not sure what a sweet gum ball is. But we have golfball size things with spikes. It picks up about 1/3 of them in the basket, about 1/3 hit you and bounce out of the bastet, the final 1/3 gets swept forward. You can add a screen to knock the into the backet, which helps a bit. With that said, the unit is made ok, it is strong enough if you simply push it. Do not pull it behind a tractor. It picks up grass, leaves and twigs just fine. My attack plan: I sweep towards a point, so if they bounce out or shoot forward, at least they are moving off the yard towards a set point. Then I rake the remainder up. I'm sorry to say, I would not buy this to pick up the balls I have. But it does pick up butts and other road trash that people toss out of their cars.

I used it with rubber balls into a net at home and it didn't seem to pick it up. I have not tried to use regular balls.

No, sweetgum balls are too tough for the LE-900, which is designed for leaves, grass, and twigs. Even our lawn mower doesn't do much damage to sweetgum balls. We are considering getting a scoop that you pull behind the lawn mower and it's supposed to gather them up so that you can dispose of them with yard trash. If you leave them on the ground they just get deeper and deeper, I swear it takes them years to rot.

My experience is that yes it will pick up larger objects. Haven't experienced nuts before but it has picked up large leaves and small pebbles. You will have to brush the curved walls. It will do okay but won't get everything from walls even when they aren't curved.

Hmm good question. It will probably pick up the leaves and maybe the blossom possibly the pebbles.

Yes it will pull up Morning glory or Smilax. It may take a couple of tries in moist soil. With a slight turn of the handle as you bring out the root. Practice makes perfect they say.

Yes - the pick up is very good for cheerios, unpopped popcorn and such. I have not been disappointed, and it is so quiet in comparison to other cleaners.

yes, will pickup small flat items - but not coins on a tile floor (I tested it). Has a magnetic tip. If you had coins on a carpet, that likely would work.hope this helps.

It could if you ground the pellets up. It just has a small door that is adjustable and when it spins, it scoops up (usually flakes) and then dumps them at the end of the rotation. Would be difficult to Get it to pick up a specific number of pellets.

It picks them up, but not as well as it picks up larger nuts. The flexible wires are almost too far apart for small nuts like acorns although I have picked some up a few times. Generally I rake acorns and pick them up with a shovel.

Yes it may pick up some stones. It will also pick up the loose hulls around the pecans and some leaves. I still recommend it though as it makes gathering the nuts so much easier. I do have to do some sorting but I can pick up a 5 gallon bucket full in about 20 minutes now. It is so much easier on the back. Our trees have a bumper crop this year and I would never get even a small percentage harvested just picking them up.

I don't actually have nuts in my yard, nor do I have much familiarity with how big most nuts are, right off the tree, except for walnuts. I think it would pick up walnuts without any difficulty. The Sweet Gum tree balls are about an inch in diameter, and the pine cones it picked up were about an inch in diameter and about 3 inches long.

I would certainly think it would.. however since it uses a rolling action to gather... fruit might be bruised. The size of this gatherer is such that it could slowly be rolled better than a smaller version.

It can pick up other small objects that are about the shape of plastic cookies or coins. The storage compartment will hold around 4-5 of these objects. My son received this when he was 15 months and he liked putting the wood disks that come with the toy in his mouth (biting them). It made me a little nervous because they are just a little too big to actually fit into his mouth, but he could probably manage to shove it in if he wanted to. So we just let him pick up balls of paper until he was a little older.

We have had our nut wizard a few years and used it to pick up small pecans and large. We have four different type pecan trees and it works great for all of them.

yes anything from the small gumballs or smaller. its a pain but the machine can be adjusted to how many comes out

You know I honestly don't think so. I would say that overall, it's not a bad little gadget if you are picking up light crumbs, etc, but to say it would work on anything substantial, it's not worth it. It works great on light dog or cat fur, or bird seed, but it won't pick up any straw (we have a rabbit also)....and it fills up very fast so sometimes I have to dump it three times just to pick up after the birds. Almost easier to use the big machine!
