This
versatile Sweeper / Collector is ideal for horse muck
collection in a field or yard situation. Collection is
made by simply driving over the droppings without the
need to stop and pick up individual amounts. A working
width of 1.2m (4ft) means high work rates can be achieved
by one person, saving considerable time and costs over
conventional methods. One of the other benefits is that
it will pick up other materials, e.g. grass cuttings,
wet and dry leaves, litter, acorns etc.
Used
in conjunction with an ATV it provides a unit which offers
low ground pressure,
which is useful in wetter months when
ground saturation is common. The Sweeper/Collector is also
equally at home on hard surfaces like concrete and can
be used with a compact tractor, garden tractor or other
suitable
vehicle.
High
quality components are used throughout to ensure durability
and long life.

A COMPARISON OF SWEEPING OR SUCKING The
decision to choose a sweeper / collector or a suction
system needs careful thought. Both remove horse muck
from pastures,
but we believe the Logic sweeper / collector has many advantages.
| |
SPEED
OF OPERATION is vitally important, not only
from a cost point of view, but also from a timing
aspect. Sweeper / collectors are several times quicker
than suction systems, which encourages frequent use,
rather than being used as a last resort, with more
labour intensive systems. Using little and often
is the better management policy. |
| |
ONE
PERSON can carry out the job with a sweeper
type of machine. Using a suction system often results
in two people involved to improve work rates,- one
driving the towing vehicle and one operating the
remote suction head. |
| |
GRASS
IS “GROOMED” with a sweeper
/ collector. As the machine is towed around, not
only is muck and small stones picked up, but dead
grass is pulled out and all sorts of other rubbish
is swept up, to clean-out and stimulate the sward
into more vigorous growth. The suction systems tend
to be more selective, so the overall grooming effect
is not happening. |
| |
OPERATOR
FATIGUE is not an issue with a sweeper /
collector, the operator simply drives around with
the towing vehicle adjusting the remote engine throttle
as required. With a suction system, there is a lot
of stopping, starting, suction head manoeuvring -
even with spring assistance and set-up / transport
adjustments. |
| |
BLOCKAGES can
occur with some suction systems that feature chopping
mechanisms, which take time and effort to overcome.
The Logic Sweeper / collector is a very simple machine
that has one brush and a hopper. When the hopper is
full the brush simply deposits the muck back onto the
ground, so the operator knows to empty the load. |
| |
LONG
GRASS is a problem with sweeper / collector
systems, but even suction systems find it more difficult
and a lot more time and effort is required to carry
out the work. |
SWEEPER
/ COLLECTOR POINTS TO CONSIDER
When
deciding which sweeper / collection type of machine to
buy, it’s
wise to compare the merits of a Logic sweeper / collector
against other models available. We
are confident
you will realise the benefits of our
product, which represents excellent value for money.
| |
BRUSH
POSITION is critical for accurate adjustment
and brushing performance. The Logic sweeper / collector
has the brush on the same axis as the wheels, so
that the brush follows ground contours exactly and
fine adjustment is possible. Some sweeper models
available have the brush mounted behind the wheel
axis, in which case the brush will often dig into
the ground, or miss the target completely. This will
lead to excessive bristle wear and poor brushing
performance. |
| |
REMOTE
THROTTLE CONTROL allows the Logic sweeper
/ collector unit to be used behind any suitable towing
vehicle, with control of the engine from the driver’s
seat. This feature enables the engine to be set at
idle when moving from site to site, or between areas
in the same field. Most other models available do
not have this facility, so the operator has to move
from the driving position to adjust the engine revs
on a regular basis. |
| |
CENTRIFUGAL
CLUTCH on the engine drive, facilitates
easier starting and when idling does not drive the
brush. This feature prolongs the life of the engine
and brush. Other models available usually do not
have this benefit. |
| |
OFFSETABLE
DRAWBAR allows access under trees etc and
more safety if operating near watercourses or other
hazards. Other types of sweeper / collector rarely
offer this feature. |

The
MSC120 Horse Muck Collector from Logic, not only sweeps
up horse droppings at an amazing rate, but collects
all manner of other rubbish, on the paddock or around
stables.
The unit can be towed by an ATV, ride on lawnmower, car,
or other suitable vehicle. It is powered by a reliable
5.5Hp Honda engine, features a 1.2m (4ft) wide brush,
600lt capacity hopper, off-settable drawbar (to assist
working under trees etc.) and simple emptying system.
There is an optional winch available to assist emptying,
which makes the job child’s play.
Using a collector of this type clears out dead grass
and stimulates healthy plants, encouraging more vigorous
growth. |

The
Logic Sweeper Collector continues to do the business
in a wide variety of situations, from grass and leaf
collection on lawns and parks, to clearing up after
rock concerts and raves etc!
Such is the design and build quality that it performs well on most
surfaces eg. grass, tarmac, concrete, artificial playing surfaces,
running tracks and fields.
One of its many features is that it can be towed by any suitable
vehicle due to the Honda 5.5hp engine power unit and remote throttle
control. It has a 1.2m operating width and generous 600lt hopper capacity,
which ensures fast work rates. Where heavy loads are picked up like
slurry or animal droppings, an optional winch is available to assist
emptying and the drawbar can be offset to improve access under trees
etc.
The unit has proved very popular with local authorities, municipal
contractors and private users for an enormous range of sweeping duties. |
