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.

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.

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.

What is the EKO Sweep?
The EKO Sweep is a towable paddock groomer and manure collector that hitches behind a quad, ute, or ride-on mower. As it is pulled across a pasture, ground-level rotating brushes lift manure, leaves, small stones, weeds, and trash into an enclosed capture bin. It is designed for farms, ranches, parks, and any home with livestock.

How fast can it clean a pasture?
According to EKO Ranch Gear, the EKO Sweep can groom several acres of almost any type of terrain or pasture in less than an hour. The speed comes from collecting manure and debris in a single driving pass rather than hand-picking piles.
How does the EKO Sweep help control worms and parasites?
Manure piles harbor parasite eggs and larvae that horses re-ingest while grazing, so physically removing droppings interrupts that cycle. The EKO Sweep collects manure into an enclosed bin without spreading it, giving you a chemical-free method of parasite and worm control. It also reduces the flies and bacteria that swarm around manure.
What materials is the EKO Sweep made of?
The EKO Sweep is built on a full zinc-dipped steel chassis with a polyethylene body that resists rust and will not rot.

The MK2 empties through an easy slide-out tray that works much like a lawn-mower catcher, with a top lid for loading difficult piles. The XL uses a clam-shell bottom-dump system and offers 4+ wheelbarrow capacity. The XL is the current 2021 model.
How much does the EKO Sweep cost?
The EKO Sweep XL (2021) is priced at $3,950 USD. A $500 USD deposit reserves your unit. Shipping is an additional $400 in the US or $500 CAD in Canada plus provincial taxes.

Yes. EKO Ranch Gear backs the EKO Sweep with a 3-year warranty and a satisfaction guarantee. You can confirm current terms directly with the company when ordering.
Besides manure, what else does the EKO Sweep pick up?
In addition to horse and farm-animal manure, the EKO Sweep collects fallen leaves, small stones, loose nuts and pods, weed blooms, geese droppings, and trash such as golf tees, bottles, and wrappers. It also breaks up the loose dirt clods that commonly form in horse paddocks, leaving the ground smoother.
Can the EKO Sweep be used in places other than a pasture?
Yes. Beyond horse paddocks it works for parks, recreational areas, sports grounds, and general grounds maintenance. It can be configured to collect surface debris without disturbing the soil, which is useful in pathogen-prone regions, and it can even be modified for sand sweeping.
Is the EKO Sweep safe to use around my animals?
It is. Because the EKO Sweep has no engine, it produces very little noise and no exhaust, so it can be operated around horses and other livestock while they remain in their paddocks. The brushes are protected by a guard wheel and run at ground level.
Which animals is the EKO Sweep suitable for?
The EKO Sweep is designed for properties with horses, sheep, llamas, alpacas, geese, and other livestock. It is equally useful for any home, farm, ranch, or park dealing with manure, uneven ground, or scattered debris.
How do I maintain the EKO Sweep?
Maintenance is minimal: occasional oiling of the chain and hosing down the collection tray and brushes keeps the unit working. The rust-resistant polyethylene body and zinc-dipped steel chassis are built to hold up to regular outdoor use.
