Does anyone have any experience of poo vacuum machines? Struggling to keep on top of poo picking at the moment with an injured back.

Thanks everyone for your replies, looks like for most they are less effective than i thought they would be unfortunately.
But harrowing and the brush-type vac disturb the soil whilst the vacuum type don't, they just suck up the muck off the top of the soil.
As we are not in a high GS risk area, we both harrow and vacuum but something to bear in mind in GS areas, I would have thought.

I therefore decided to look for the next size up predator and will buy one when I find a good S/H one that someone doesn't like. The newer ones tip Dry Rot so that will be a bonus. Unfortunately they don't run on red diesel!
Yes, my Predator tips but not high enough so I still have to fork it out. I don't know what the answer is as poo tends to stay in where it is anyway! Definitely easy to work while seated on a quad though. I think it would be a real bore to tow it behind anything else -- but as I've said, that means two machines and two engines drinking petrol. I think it is possible to get a diesel engine for them, so if I bought again, I'd definitely be looking into that. Oh, and to making it road legal, then I could go contracting!![]()
