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”
When Rachel Metz first came across the Tow and Collect, she had her doubts.
“I kept watching the video over and over again, wondering, ‘Is this really going to work? Is it too good to be true?'”
To ease her concerns, she reached out for references. Speaking with a Tow and Collect owner in Florida helped her feel more confident in her decision.
Once the machine arrived, Rachel was impressed with the ease of setup and operation.
“It was shipped from Georgia on a big flatbed truck. I think it was already assembled when I got it—I didn’t have to do anything. I just hooked it up to my Kubota, went out into a field, and started using it.”
Fine-tuning the settings took some trial and error, adjusting the prongs and brush height based on the season. But once she got it dialed in, the results spoke for themselves.
“One of the things that surprises me is that I think it even helps fluff up my field. It works almost like a street sweeper, brushing the pastures and sweeping up the manure.”
Rachel also noticed an unexpected benefit—the Tow and Collect not only removes manure but also picks up some thatch, helping her pastures stay healthier.
“When I dump it, it creates a nice compost pile that can be utilized for future use.”
The biggest advantage? Efficiency.
“The Tow and Collect is so easy to use. All I do is hook it up to my Kubota and go out and pick up my fields. I can do one field in 15 minutes.”
After using the Tow and Collect, Rachel has no hesitation recommending it.
“If anybody is looking for something to pick up fields quickly, I think it’s a great option. I’ve been very pleased with it and would absolutely recommend it.”
For Rachel, the Tow and Collect has been a true game changer in maintaining cleaner, healthier pastures with minimal effort.
