can pole be used for light pecan tree thrashing .

I am not sure what strength is required for that. We use the pole fully extended with a brush on the end to brush snow from our satellite dish. The dish is level with the eaves of the second story of our house. It is flexible but does the job. But it is not able to knock icicles from the edge of the roof...much too flexible and bounces off them.

Short answer = yes. Long answer = Funny that I live in GA but know little about pecans. I use the pole to help my dad hang Xmas lights. The pole flexes quite a bit once you extend it 25 feet or so. Fashioning a c-shaped attachment should help.

The main concern I would have is it's weight. It gets very heavy, very quickly. A strong man probably wouldn't have as much of a problem with that. Also not sure it would be long enough for the job, even fully extended. Hope this helps.

I have no experience with pecans. I only tried to use them on macadamia nuts, which are very hard, and this nutcracker was not effective. I believe pecans are not as hard to crack and this may work. The problem is the lack of adequate leverage.

Depends on the size of the plant, of course, but yes! These are much sturdier than other poles I have tried. 10 lbs would be ok, I think.

I would think so because it does a great job of picking up our miniature pecans. Very pleased with our Nut Wizard!

While this would work it's a little bit of overkill as it was designed for tougher nuts. This is how we do pecans and it works great, especially since you get complete halves most of the time. Hope this helpshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGSR8t0bYRw

As I recall, you can. There are times the pole will fatigue, but the wheels are fine...

I guess you could. Never tried it. One thing is that pecans are easier to pick up because they are smooth sided and go into the picker upper easily if the ground is hard. This is a fun item when I get pecans and I look forward to taking the grandchildren along, but it could be a real pain to try to manually clear a field of rocks.

Yes, as long as the pole will fit in the base. I bout this one specifically because it has 2 bolts to anchor the pole

I use mine on a pole...Sorry, I didn't keep the instructions so sorry...Wish I could help...

I would not try personally. I would be concerned about either damaging the ceiling due to too much stress on point of contact or not having good enough contact to hold pole up if someone yanked on it. I would go for a pole that bolts onto ceiling or one with adjustable curve.

I would build a concrete form (wooden box ) to bring the concrete base for the pole up to the level you need. It would be a good idea to put in a few pieces of rebar to ensure strength.

Sorry, Robert, I've only every tried it on pecans. I have no experience shelling hickory nuts so can only guess. Based on my understanding of the size, shape, and structure of a hickory nut, I think it should work. Wish a had some first hand experience.

I have inadvertantly picked up small rocks when picking up pecans in soft soil. I would think it would work just fine as long as the rocks were round and not flat otherwise they will just fall through the mesh.

no, could possibly work with appropriate hook ups to stabilize pole. pole keeps tipping over

It is one inch and I bought it to hold the seed from hitting the ground. Don't know how it would be on a pole.

This pole is not intended for that purpose. This pole would bend too easily to depend on it as or with a safety hook. There are devices from the same supplier that are intended and designed as safety/shepherds hooks.

I am pretty positive it will work on even smaller rocks maybe 1/4" and 1/2". The only problem I see is for the item to work is the ground needs to be firm or you will just push the rock deeper into the soil. Picking up pecans the ground is hard packed and the nuts press in very easy. Hope this helps
