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?
