How does it work?

It will automatically adapt itself to keep a tight ground plane to any surface and at any angle. Make your travelling at 12-18mph. Now you can sit back and enjoy the ride!

What are the benefits?

The benefits of your own Paddock Blade are life changing! It saves you hours of your precious time every time it is used – reducing the time you’d usually have to spend picking up manure by at least one-third. Your horses will be happier and healthier as they’ll have a cleaner environment. It’s also a fun machine to use and work with! The Paddock Blade will alleviate all those aches and pains caused by the arduous backbreaking task of using a rake and wheelbarrow. Long-term, it can help prevent repetitive strain injuries on your back, neck, shoulders and arms.

How fast does it clear an acre?

The Paddock Blade has been put through its paces by our team and our customers. You can check out what they think of Paddock Blade here. An acre can be cleared of manure in only 10 minutes. Not only do you save time, you’re no longer toiling in the harsh sun and struggling with a rake and wheelbarrow. Manure collecting becomes a breeze!

How do you empty it?

The Paddock Blade has six handles around the side and rear, and a bar at the front to make emptying quick and easy.

Once you have done your paddock cleaning and filled it up to the desired level, simply tow your Paddock Blade over to your poo pile, unhitch it and lift and tip it from the back, side or front to raise and tilt.

Alternatively, you can keep a shovel, rake or brush at your poo pile to empty the contents in a few seconds. Whatever method you choose it will save you hours of time and effort every single week.

Will it work on my terrain/property?

The Paddock Blade horse manure collector is manufactured for Australian conditions and has been rigorously tested to ensure it’s up the task for any horse property! It’s designed to work on flat, hilly, grassy, rocky and undulating terrain. The only difficulty you may encounter is if you use your Paddock Blade before allowing moist grass and manure to dry.

Does it work in long grass?

The Paddock Blade will work well in grass up to 15cm tall. For any grass longer than this and as general advice, we recommend having your paddocks slashed to maintain good health for your horses and any other livestock.
