Our Tow and Collect machines are easy to tow, using a standard ball and hitch coupling system that is compatible with ATVs, 4 wheelers, and most other trucks and stable vehicles. Simply attach it to your tow bar and you’re ready to collect. The Tow and Collect will also remove thatch to improve the quality of your grass.
The Tow and Collect 1220 is designed for medium-sized farms with 6-12 horses. The brushes inside the machine are driven by the forward momentum of the wheels when attached to the towing vehicle. The brushes then scoop up the manure into the black bucket at the back.

Verified ownerThe Tow and Collect 1220 is a great addition to our farm! We spent hours hand mucking the paddocks and then when we couldn't keep up we would havw to come in the skid steer and scoop things up ultimately digging up the ground of the paddock and much less precise than we preferred.
We can spin around and have the paddocks for 6 horses cleaned up in about 2 hrs a week! Much faster than hand mucking! The amount of flies are noticeably less, truly . We started on one end of our farm with 4 horses and were getting the hang of it over there for about a month before using on the other end as well, during that time the difference in flies was very noticeable as the other end of the farm where we were hand mucking and using the skid steer still had many more flies (even though we were using feed through fly control).
From a practical perspective we do still need to rake away from the fence as this cannot get right up to the fence. We have a couple horses that favor going pooh right on the fence :-( if you have a square corner in your paddock or pasture then you will need to hand-muck a portion of the corners as you just can't get right up there given turning radius and so forth, but can minimize that, especially if your horses just dont go pooh there.
It does create quite a dust storm if it has been dry and you are sweeping in a dirt only paddock or one that has not grown back in yet. A solution for us has been to use the tow and collect when the ground is still a bit wet after a rain, not soaking wet but maybe a little damp as it keeps the dust down and helps with collection of manure.
It is important to pay attention to your chain tension and adjust as needed, you dont want too much slack in your chain or you can do damage to your machine (which I learned the hard way).
We chose a manual/non-motarized option so as yo not have an additional maintenance required. It works great, although it might be nice to have slightly larger capacity that the motorized version offers but this capacity honestly works fine for us.
All in, I am extremely pleased with the lower amount of flies, the cleaner paddocks and the amount of time is has saved. I own a business and have 2 very young children and we manage our property ourselves so "spare time" is not a thing for us. We absolutely needed something to help us be more efficient in our maintenance and this is absolutely the best thing!
Excellent, saves hours of time and well crafted.
Save your back & time! - We've now owned this machine for over 5 years and it's still going strong. We have two 2 acre pastures for four horses needing collection weekly. The 1220 was our choice and there are no regrets. It's easy to manage and dump when full. Total time is less than an hour and my back doesn't complain afterwards. Worth every cent!

Laina was manually mucking in the two main paddocks using a shovel and wheelbarrow. This was time-consuming taking up to an hour per paddock. Even then she would only collect the manure from close to the barn rather than head all the way out to the back of the paddock.
Melissa Newsome was given her Tow and Collect as a Christmas present by her husband and she loves it.
“Before the Tow and Collect we had to take muck buckets, rakes and spades and just manually muck it up. It took days. It would take three people four days to do five fields. It now takes six hours.”
Rachel was looking for an easier, less labour intensive alternative to mucking out fields, she came across the Tow and Collect and can now spend more time with her animals and less time cleaning fields!
“It’s been a GAME CHANGER for me”
Paul Elliot takes great pride in keeping his park clean and clear of Goose poop. The Tow and Collect Mini 700 is the perfect machine for cleaning the grounds, something that visitors frequently comment on.
“The Tow and Collect is the fastest and easiest way to clean up the parks for our visitors to enjoy.”
