How does the Paddock Blade clean a horse pasture?
The Paddock Blade is a towed paddock cleaner that you hitch to an ATV or very small tractor, then drive over your pasture to collect manure as you go. It automatically adapts to keep a tight ground plane on any surface and at any angle, with no moving parts to break. For best results, tow it at a comfortable 12-19 mph.
Why remove manure instead of using a manure spreader?
Manure spreaders break droppings into small bits and scatter them across the same grazing area your horses eat from, spreading bacteria, germs, and fly larvae over their feed. Paddock Blade USA's view is that removing as much manure as possible is always the better bet. Less manure on the pasture means fewer flies, less disease, and fewer parasites.
How much does the Paddock Blade cost, and can I pay in installments?
The Paddock Blade is priced under $1500 — $1499 total, with shipping and tax included to the 48 states. Shop Pay installments are offered at checkout over 3, 6, or 12 months, starting from $135.30 per month plus interest (rates from 0%-36% APR, subject to an eligibility check). You can also call or email Paddock Blade USA to arrange a payment plan tailored to your budget.
How big is the Paddock Blade and how much can it hold?
The Paddock Blade measures 48" wide x 39" long x 12" high and holds 90 gallons — over 3.5 wheelbarrows. It clears an acre in about 10 minutes, so a full paddock cleanup takes a fraction of the time of raking by hand.
Does the Paddock Blade need assembly or maintenance?
No. It arrives ready to use straight out of the packaging, with no moving parts, no maintenance, and no assembly required. Paddock Blade USA sums up its design philosophy as "simplicity is our strength."
Is the Paddock Blade made in the USA, and is it warrantied?
Yes. Paddock Blade is proudly American made in Texas using locally sourced American steel and components, and every unit is quality checked before it leaves the factory. It is described as the only American made horse poop scooper, and it is backed by a 10 year warranty. Orders are dispatched from the factory within 24 hours on every business day.
Can the Paddock Blade do anything besides collect manure?
Yes. In tow mode it also picks up rocks, sticks, leaves, and other organic debris — some owners use it mainly for clearing rocks and tidying their property. In trailer mode it can carry heavy loads up to 1100 lbs, such as bales and bowsers.

What is the Paddock Blade and what does it do?
The Paddock Blade is a tow-behind manure collector that scoops horse droppings, rocks, sticks, leaves, molehills and organic debris off your pasture in a single pass. It is marketed as 'The Original #1 Manure Collector' and is designed to replace the daily wheelbarrow-and-pitchfork routine. The company says it clears an acre in 10 to 15 minutes and removes about 90% of the effort of cleaning by hand.
What vehicle do I need to tow a Paddock Blade?
It works with any vehicle over 13 horsepower that has a tow hitch, ball, or 3-point link. That includes ATVs, 4-wheelers, ride-on mowers, UTVs and trucks. According to the company, you don't need any additional parts or equipment to hook it up.
How much manure does it hold?
The Original Paddock Blade has a 92-gallon capacity, which the company describes as over 3.5 wheelbarrows in a single fill. This lets you cover large areas before stopping to empty it. In trailer mode the unit can carry up to 2,200 lbs.
How do you empty the Paddock Blade?
The unit has six handles around the side and rear plus a bar at the front to make dumping quick and easy. The company says the 100 lb design allows easy dumping 'for all ages and abilities.' There are no latches or mechanisms to fail, you simply tip and empty the load.
How big is the Paddock Blade and how much does it weigh?
The Original model measures 48 inches wide by 39 inches long by 12 inches high and weighs 100 lbs, with a 48-inch working width. The company also describes it as roughly 40% larger and lighter than other manure drags. It ships fully assembled and ready to work straight out of the box.
What is it made of?
The Paddock Blade is built from premium American steel with fully welded construction. The upgraded Paddock Blade Pro adds AR400 armored plating for extra durability. Units are manufactured at the company's Texas factory using American steel and components.
Does it pick up rocks and other debris, or just manure?
It collects manure plus rocks, sticks, leaves, nuts, molehills and other organic debris. The company colorfully says it 'eats rocks for breakfast.' That makes it useful for general paddock and pasture tidying, not just manure removal.
Does the Paddock Blade work for cattle and other animals?
Yes. The company states it works effectively for cattle and that thousands of farmers use it, and it is designed to clear all grazing-animal manure. So it is not limited to horses, it can serve mixed-livestock operations.
What terrain does it work on, and where does it not work well?
It performs well on flat, hilly, grassy, rocky and undulating terrain. However, the company says it won't perform well on sand arenas or ménages. For those riding surfaces a different tool is recommended.
Can I use it after it rains?
The company advises against using it immediately after torrential rain and suggests letting the ground dry first for the best results. Running it across saturated, muddy ground reduces how cleanly it collects. On normal damp ground it still works fine.
Does the Paddock Blade require any assembly or maintenance?
No. The company says it has done all the hard work for you, so the unit arrives fully assembled and ready to use. Because it has no moving parts, there is no maintenance required, nothing to grease, replace or wear out.
What warranty comes with the Paddock Blade?
Every Paddock Blade is backed by a lifetime warranty as standard, which the company highlights as a key differentiator. They note it is 'the only one backed by a lifetime warranty.' This reflects the welded, no-moving-parts construction.
How much does the Paddock Blade cost and is financing available?
The Original Paddock Blade is priced at $1,499.00 USD and the AR400-armored Paddock Blade Pro is $1,799.00. The code SAVEME100 takes $100 off, and interest-free financing is available from $93 per month. Free delivery from the Texas factory is included.
What colors does the Paddock Blade come in?
The Original Paddock Blade is offered in colors including Barn Red, Midnight Black and Plum Purple, all with a durable powder-coat finish. The Paddock Blade Pro carries the same finish plus AR400 armor. Color availability can vary, so check the current options at checkout.
How fast will my order ship and how long does delivery take?
Orders are dispatched from the company's US and Canadian warehouses within 24 hours and are delivered in 1 to 3 days. Free delivery is included from the Texas factory. This fast turnaround is one of the points the company emphasizes.
Why does cleaning manure off my pasture matter for horse health?
Manure attracts flies and spreads parasites and disease, and horses eat, sleep, roll and graze on the same ground. Regular collection means fewer flies, less disease and lower parasite egg counts (FEC), which the company cites as a core benefit. Keeping paddocks clean protects both pasture quality and herd health.
