You made me curious…found similar units on You tube. Tho not the exact unit as the one you linked, this shows a 10″ brush sweeper in action. I imagine twigs, sticks, pine cones, rocks and less than smooth terrain are not in the cards.

Thanks for the replies. I have the same concerns you guys mentioned. The lot is “level” but certainly not “extremely level.” Of course it has plenty of trees too. Like cabin said, I’m afraid it would pick up a lot of dirt along with the pine needles. Maybe I’ll try one in the spring.
They work very well on concrete or grass. They pick up the leaves but on dirt I think it will also pick up dirt and gravel that is loose. The bristles are very stiff and can be adjusted for height. Maybe you could adjust it so it just barely touches the ground and it will not get too much beside needles? I am doubtful it will work well but worth a try!
Anyone ever tried one of these or something similar for pine needles? I got three replies from Amazon owners and they all said it works good on pine needles. It would be pulled with an ATV on a level lot.
