Will it pickup Silt and fine dirt?

The absolute technical answer is NO (I am a civil engineer and its mesh is coarser than silt size particles). Having said that, it is the finest mesh i have found in a hand skimmer and I really like it. I use it with my fish pond and it removes all but the finest material well. Actually, I don't believe one fine enough to capture silt would be worth having as a hand skimmer. With hand skimming water would flow too slowly through mesh that fine.

No. Not for fine particles like that. My robot comes with a bag that does that.

It did a pretty good job of it. Doesn't get everything but we will use it again this year.

It picks up blacktop stones with no problem. Don't see why I won't pick up cigarette ashes. It has a very good suction to it.

Probably not. The Agri-Fab picks up leaves from the lawn best when the height of the brushes is adjusted to just whisk the top of the grass. Unless the dried horse manure sits lightly on the surface in the horse paddock this machine would probably not give a satisfactory performance pick-up. But I have no horses.

It can pick up whatever a swiffer cloth picks up. Dirt and sand? Maybe a little. I find it's great for dust and pet hair...

It's small and electric so I would say no. I guess it depends on how rocky (small rocks or stones?) It does an ok job but if the soil hasn't been turned over before it's going to be a bit of a chore. You will need ot make sure there are no roots as well.

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

No. It is only good at removing small bits of trash that might come from a well. For scale it is useless.

No. It is not usable, but it covers larger areas to pick up dirt. Overall it can save you money. It does a good job picking up dirt.

My experience has been that it only picks up & holds small amounts of dirt. I have the same problem with it leaving dirt to resettle after running it. It works great for larger debris, but not so great for dirt which is what I was hoping for too.

I don't know. The bucket I purchased is designed for rock, dirt, etc. It also can move heavy objects in the 250 pound range well. They, Swisher, sell a snow plow attachment for that purpose.

If the soil is not too hard it deals with grass and weeds well. I use mine often.

It should depending on how much...its no earth mover lol...seems to do a nice job on dirt leaves etc...only issue with the unit and its very minor for the money is the little skirt could fit tighter it tends to come off once in awhile

It can pick up just about anything, Has alot of power for such a lite weight vacuum. So the answer to your quest YES it can.

It stirs the dirt up and sucks it through a fabric filter. I find that some particulates get through. The filters come in various capabilities so get the finest available, 2 microns.

It can if you don't mind hauling a bunch of dirt from one spot to the new site. So Yes and No depending on how much work your willing to do. Hope I helped

yes but not that effective, it will loosen soil but you have to use your vac to lift it off.

Pretty sure it will. Mine picked up rocks, so I had to be ultra careful. If the acorns are out of the shell, they'll be toast with this unit. Hope it helps.
