Eko-Sweep by EKO-RX Tired Of Seeing Your Pasture Filled With Manure? How Does Eko-Sweep Work?EKO Sweep is wheel driven which rotates the brushes that pick up anything in its path. Because it is not motor operated, there are no fuel costs and it produces very little noise. It is safe for all and it can be used around your animals while they are still in their paddocks. Note: EKO-Sweep is Made in New Zealand under the brand name of the Paddock Groomer. So How Does Eko-Sweep Work? EKO Sweep quietly collects horse and farm animal manure, removes small debris from your paddocks such as leaves, small stones, weed blooms and trash simply by driving over them while simultaneously breaking up loose dirt clods, which are commonly formed in horse paddocks. Conversely in regions with soil born pathogens the brushes can be set to collect the manure, weed blooms and debris from the grasses without disturbing the soil. Either way over time, the EKO Sweep creates a smoother, greatly improved appearance and functionality of the paddocks and grounds. Is Eko-Sweep Built To Last?YES! The entire body and collection tray of the EKO Sweep is made of very strong, durable, weather resistant plastic which will not rust or rot and is very robust for use in all outdoor and farm type settings. Quality stainless steel tow bar and fittings, combined with industrial standard road sweeper brushes, results in very little maintenance or care. Optimal performance simply requres occasional oiling the chain and hosing down the collection tray and brushes to keep them clean and debris free.
How Do I Tow My Eko-Sweep?Due to its relatively light weight construction, combined with simple spring mechanism and height adjustments, the EKO Sweep is easily towed by an ATV, Quad or even a ride-on mower. It can be used on flat paddocks, hills or undulating ground conditions. Whatever your terrain, if you can drive there safely, the EKO Sweep will follow! Can I Use The Eko-Sweep In More Places Than My Pasture?Eko-Sweep can pick up anything in its path. The brushes are adjustable and when set to rotate at ground level, it will remove any loose debris such as fallen nuts and pods from trees, blooming weeds or any trash such as golf tees, plastic bottles, wrappers, etc. that are left behind following events or parties. Great for raccoon and possum droppings that can cause serious health issues with your horse-- and with simple modifications, it can also sweep on sand! Is The Tray Easy To Dump?Yes!

Call Chad and order today! ![]() What exactly is the EKO Sweep?The EKO Sweep is a towable paddock groomer and manure collector that hitches behind a quad, ute, or even a ride-on mower and sweeps a pasture clean in a single pass. As you drive, ground-level rotating brushes lift horse manure, fallen leaves, small stones, weed blooms, and trash straight into an enclosed capture bin. The company says it can groom several acres of almost any terrain or pasture in less than an hour, leaving smoother ground and healthier grass behind.![]() Who builds the EKO Sweep?The EKO Sweep is manufactured and sold by EKO Ranch Gear (EKO Group NA, a Chadco Company), with North American sales and worldwide shipping. The design traces back to the New Zealand-engineered Paddock Groomer, refined for farm, ranch, park, and acreage use across the US and Canada. You can reach the company directly, mobile, or, and the company notes "Dealers Welcome / Sales Worldwide."![]() How is the EKO Sweep built?The machine is constructed on a full zinc-dipped steel chassis with a polyethylene body that resists rust and will not rot. A floating tow-bar follows the contours of the land, an industrial-standard road-sweeper brush set does the actual collecting, and stainless-steel tow bar and fittings stand up to outdoor use. A protective wheel shields the brush assembly, and a top loading lid lets you tip especially difficult piles directly into the bin.![]() How does it work without a motor?The EKO Sweep is entirely wheel-driven, meaning the turning of its road wheels spins the brushes that pick up everything in their path. Because there is no engine, there are no fuel costs and almost no noise, so it can be used around horses and other animals while they remain in the paddock. Height-adjustable brushes and a simple spring mechanism let you set the sweep depth for flat paddocks, hills, or undulating ground, and the unit can even be modified for sand sweeping.Why does removing manure protect your herd?Piles of manure attract flies and harbor the parasite eggs and larvae that horses re-ingest while grazing, so physically collecting droppings is a chemical-free way to break the worm and parasite cycle. The EKO Sweep's enclosed bin keeps everything contained even in hot, humid, or windy conditions, and beyond manure it clears loose nuts and pods, weeds, geese droppings, golf tees, bottles, and wrappers from pastures, parks, and recreational grounds. It serves horses, sheep, llamas, alpacas, geese, and other livestock alike.How do you buy the EKO Sweep XL?The current EKO Sweep XL (2021) offers 4+ wheelbarrow capacity with a clam-shell bottom-dump system and is priced at $3,950 USD, while the MK2 model empties through a slide-out tray much like a lawn-mower catcher. Shipping runs $400 in the US and $500 CAD in Canada plus provincial taxes, and a $500 USD deposit reserves your unit. Every EKO Sweep is backed by a 3-year warranty and a satisfaction guarantee; order through ekosweep.com or call. |
