Sarah Sladen from Tadley: "With 14 horses to clean after I needed a paddock cleaner very quickly, so I bought the machine and collected the next day on a Saturday. Great product. Should have got one ages ago! So many uses".

Jan Broughton from Norfolk bought the PC500PHWB wheelbarrow vacuum. Jan said about her purchase: "Picking up poop after 4 Alpacas and 1 horse is so much easier now. My husband and I are in our 60s and found that looking after our 2 paddocks without a machine was hard work. This manure vacuum is brilliant, I don't know what we would do without it now. Thank you Keith for all your help and advice. We would happily recommend you and the product, no problem".

Rose Tommons from Northwich bought the PC1000SH4WA swivel with wide axle. Her comments about this paddock vacuum were: "We used to have a "Predator" machine but we find the "Trafalgar" is much more economical with fuel, so we are very happy with it. It makes cleaning after 40 acres of land and 17 paddocks very easy indeed".

Julie Abbley from Cirencester uses the PC500SH4WA (wide axle vacuum) to clean after 2 ponies and maintain 6 acres of land. Her land is mainly flat with a slight slope but drains well. Julie said to us: “Looking after the animals and paddocks was a difficult task to keep on top of because of other commitments, so the machine has been very useful. This fabulous outdoor unit picks up solid and wet manure without pulling up or breaking the grass. I do have to stand on a box to pull the starter cord but that is a minor issue, otherwise, an excellent machine that I would recommend to anyone and everyone. I do not know how I managed without it before!

David Douglas-Mort from Axminster has 12 acres of land which has flat and sloping areas and 4 paddocks with 2 heavy horses. Looking after the paddocks was a chore before getting a machine. After his purchase, David sent us the following review: “I really liked that when I rang, Keith answered every query, giving pros and cons. I never felt I was being “sold” something but given a lot of comprehensive facts which allowed me to make up my mind. When I ordered, I did not regret my decision at all, even though it was not cheap for my budget. As Royce said, “they remember the quality much longer than the cost”. The ordering and delivery were faultless. I am totally happy with the product and the service”.

Charles Reed from Newton Abbot (Devon) wanted a machine that will clean a concrete, sloppy track of approximately 1.4km and 5M wide, with leaves and debris being a big problem. Clearing the track by sweeping, blowing, shovelling, etc. would normally take him a long time and would also be exhausting having to repeat this process several times a year, so the PC120 paddock sweeper was ideal for his needs, getting the job done in no time. Charles is now another Fresh Group Product’s happy customer.

Angela Thomas from Brentwood (Essex). “This machine is superb and has helped us immensely with our 4 horses and 5 grazing acres of paddocks to clean. Even dividing the chores between 3 people was hard work before, especially for the oldest of us (78 years old). Thank you, Fresh Group Products”.

Julie O'Grady from Wirral (Merseyside) With 1 horse and 2 ponies and 2 acres of muddy paddocks to clean, after buying the PC450H4 Julie said: "I found manually poo picking very slow and hard work, especially with tall grass. Buying the poo picker from Fresh Group Products was a good call. I was given personal service with excellent product knowledge and personal follow-up service. No delays in delivery and the order time was acceptable. Parts replacement is just as efficient. I could not do without this motorised manure collector now. I find the machine very easy to use and empty. It cleans up through long grass and vacuums up poo even when the birds have pecked through it and spread it everywhere!.
I just wish I could use this machine in the house - the paddocks are clean and pristine, but the carpets in my house are not.

Sosi Kaskanian from Pye (East Sussex) has 12 acres of land with 2 horses and 30 sheep. After buying the PC500PH4, Sosi said: “This paddock vacuum does exactly what you want it to do. It is great and picks poop up perfectly. I cannot fault the product and would highly recommend it. Great service as well.

Lesley Parker from Linlithgow (West Lothian) owns 14 acres of land divided into 10 paddocks with a total of 18 horses. Her land is mainly flat with a few inclines and well-kept rather than poached. Before having our machine, Lesley said: “Poo picking manually used to be hard work and a slow process, as well as tiring. Having a paddock vacuum is great. I love it. This is my second machine… I have upgraded in size. My old one was the PC500SH4 and the new one is the PC1000SH4”. About Fresh Group Products, she said: “I am a repeat customer... fabulous service. I would highly recommend”.

Elaine and Terry Mason (North Yorkshire). Elaine and Terry own 8 paddocks totalling 15 acres during summer which results in bigger fields in the winter. They found the PC1000SH4WA (swivel/wide axle) perfect for cleaning after their 17 horses and ponies. They commented: "This paddock vacuum is a 5-star product. Our paddocks are mainly flat with some undulations and there is no problem using the machine. The response, product knowledge, politeness when ordering, and delivery service we got, were all first class!"

Tracey Carpenter from Forres (Morayshire). Tracey bought the towable wide axle PC1000SH4 to take care of 9 acres of land split into 6 paddocks and 14 lovely Alpacas. Tracey’s review was: “Before we had to do the poo picking manually, which was slow, tedious, and hard work, as well as physically taxing for our backs (myself and my husband’s). Everything was a bit of a chore, especially poo-picking on the long grass! This paddock vacuum is easy to use and makes cleaning the paddocks much quicker and easier! Fresh Group Products provided excellent service from start to finish. I would highly recommend it to others. I give them and the machine 5 stars”.

Olly Murphy from Stratford (Warwickshire) purchased the PC1000SH4WA with wide axle. He said to us: “We used a manual method for poo picking before, which was slow and time-consuming so we bought a much-needed machine for poo picking after 70 horses, for efficiency. Thank you”.
11/05/2020
Rob Thomas from Pickering (North Yorkshire) bought the PC500PH4. Rob owns 4 donkeys and 1.5 acres of flat land that he used to maintain manually, being a slow process and hard work.

Harry Gretton from Sheffield (South Yorkshire) bought a PC450H4 with a skip mount tow ball bracket. Harry owns 2 acres of grassland and a paddock with 2 horses, and he told us that “although the terrain is flattish, it gets muddy in the winter so it is harder to keep the paddocks clean. The Muck Truck poo picker makes a good self-propelled solution”. About Fresh Group he said: “Excellent service and product knowledge”.
27/04/2020
Peter Collins from Trowbridge (Wiltshire). The PC1000SH4 was the machine of choice for Peter. With 5 acres, 12 paddocks, and 8 horses, he needed a machine that could be used by people of different ages and strengths, for poo picking and maintaining his land. Delighted with his purchase, Peter said: “Before having this vacuum, cleaning up after the horses was time-consuming and there were lots of flies around the paddocks”. About Fresh Group Products he said: “Polite, efficient service”. Peter himself made the wide wheel variation to the machine in 3 hours after discussions with Keith before and after the purchase, initially thinking he wouldn't need the wide axle variant.

Paul Temple from Driffield (East Yorkshire) went for the PC500PH4 model. “We bought a machine from Keith many years ago at a Show (Burghley to memory). Recently we opted to upgrade the old model that served us very well for many years”. Now, with 20 horses to look after and 15 acres of grass to maintain, after buying his 2nd paddock vacuum, Paul’s comment was: "Great Product! I would recommend it and Fresh Group Products as well".

Davina Gray from Ardee (Ireland) bought the PC120 paddock sweeper. Davina bought this machine to maintain 10 acres across 4 paddocks with 6 horses! Her land is flat, although one paddock has a slight slope. She, herself (a young woman) would be the one using the machine. In her words: “This poo vacuum has been a game-changer. The backup service from Keith has been super to ensure that I got the machine up and running smoothly. The sweeper is easy to use and the electric start and electric tipper mean that the hopper is easy to empty. My paddocks have never looked so good, and it takes only a quarter of the time than manually collecting it as I was before.

Easy to use, just a magic machine. I do not know how we ever coped without it. Excellent for poo-picking and collecting leaves. I think everything has been covered. Keith described the machine perfectly. A proper GENTLEMAN to deal with”.

Colette Light from Shermanbury (West Sussex), needed a paddock cleaner to poo pick after her horses. With a mixture of flat and sloping terrain and 60 acres to maintain, manual work was tiring and time-consuming.

28/06/2013
Tom Eggar from Oxford bought the PC1000PH4 vacuum cleaner for the maintenance of 5 acres of land on the side of a steep valley and 4 horses.

Jacqueline Wigley from Oldham (Lancashire) bought the PC500 swivel with wide axle eight years ago to maintain her 23 acres of land (very sloping) with seven paddocks and a track system in 4 of the larger paddocks. Jacqueline had previous experience with paddock cleaners and said: “I have had my machine for several years. It is easy to use on our sloping ground by one person (even a woman, if I can be sexist as I am that woman using it on my own!). The operation is easy to manage, from hitching up to emptying and cleaning. I am delighted with it. I would give Fresh Group Products and the product top marks. This machine is fab, the only bonus I would wish for would be to know how full the tub is at any time, but you cannot see inside, so hey ho. But Keith did say (which became obvious when he explained it) that when it is full, there is a decrease in suction, and the engine tone changes”.

Michael Goldsmith from Wellingborough (Northamptonshire). Michael bought the PC500SH4. His set consisted of 3 paddocks for domestic animals totalling 5 acres, where the paddock cleaner is used, and a further 25 acres for sheep grazing, where there is no requirement for poo removal. With one pony, four alpacas, and three llamas flat grass grazing (good short pastures). He commented: “Excellent product. The paddock vacuum has worked perfectly and has responded well to maintenance and servicing. The supplier was helpful when there was an initial fault, solving the problem quickly. This poo picker is effective, easy to use, and towable with a range of tractors and other vehicles, including a Gator”.
