I thought they were asking if tomber can be used with object

[royal coral]

it can't
you would have to use a causative construction for that

[rugged marsh]

ok thanks

[royal coral]

causative being "faire tomber" (as in making something fall)

[wooden nebula]

It can, but it’s more rare and informal

J’ai tombé ma veste en rentrant

[split estuary]

I think that sense is only used with clothes

[wooden nebula]

En effet

[echo vessel]

Dialectally "tomber" for "faire tomber" exists

It's actually one of the rare language quirks I was forced to drop as a kid

Pun unintended

I would never use that again though

[wooden nebula]

it's in the trésor !
