Re: [AlpacaTalk] Pasture Vac

 

I have read a not so flattering review in my Farm Show magazine, ' Best and Worst Buys ' that said Graystone ( sp ) at least the one they bought, was no good.  The company wouldn't stand behind it.

 

I bought a used manure vac, not the GS and rebuilt it, making it more user friendly.  Got to use it for almost a month, when the impeller, mounted directly to the engine, broke the shaft off just out side the engine.  Bought a new engine and had to reengineer the mounting.

 

I would suggest finding a self contained leaf vac, the trailer mounted kind.  No reason it wouldn't work just as well, and possibly cheaper.

 

I am thinking about building another, just for the fun of it, from scratch!!  :)

 

I will dig up some before and after pics of the one I have.

I'm sure this has been asked before but I would like to know which pasture vac (manufacturer) had the best product. or which is the worst.

 

Thank You,
