What does the Eko-Sweep by EKO-RX actually do?
Eko-Sweep is a maintenance groomer and manure collector for any farm, ranch or horse operation. Rather than spreading manure in a thin layer the way a manure spreader does, EKO Sweep removes it entirely so you can have a truly manure-free pasture.
How does Eko-Sweep work without using fuel?
EKO Sweep is wheel driven, so rotating the wheels turns the brushes that pick up anything in their path. Because it is not motor operated, there are no fuel costs and it produces very little noise.
Is it safe to use Eko-Sweep around my animals?
Yes. It is safe for all and can be used around your animals while they are still in their paddocks, thanks to its quiet, low-noise operation.
Besides manure, what else does Eko-Sweep clean up?
While driving over them, EKO Sweep removes small debris such as leaves, small stones, weed blooms and trash, and simultaneously breaks up loose dirt clods commonly formed in horse paddocks. In regions with soil-born pathogens, the brushes can be set to collect manure, weed blooms and debris from the grasses without disturbing the soil.
Is the Eko-Sweep built to last outdoors?
Yes. The entire body and collection tray are made of very strong, durable, weather-resistant plastic that will not rust or rot, and it includes a quality stainless steel tow bar. Note that EKO-Sweep is made in New Zealand under the brand name of the Paddock Groomer.
