Wessex Tractor Paddock Sweeper
Wessex offers a robust lineup of PTO-powered tractor paddock sweepers, including the versatile MTX(P) and STX models. These heavy-duty machines ensure clean, debris-free pastures, promoting healthy grazing for horses and other livestock.
MTX Wessex Tractor Paddock Sweeper Range
The MTX(P) Tractor Paddock Sweeper is an ideal choice for equestrian centers and farms. It features a powerful onboard engine (MTX120(E)) and mirrors the functionality of ATV paddock sweepers. This PTO-driven paddock sweeper efficiently eliminates manure and debris, ensuring clean and healthy pastures for livestock.
Designed for ease of use, the MTX models are towable and equipped with fixed front wheels and rear castor wheels. The PTO drives the brush shaft, replacing the need for a traditional engine. Additionally, the unit includes a manual winch tipping hopper at ground level for simple and efficient emptying.
STX Tractor Paddock Sweeper
The STX Tractor Paddock Sweepers come in two brush widths—1.2M and 1.8M—making them perfect for contracting and commercial applications. These Wessex paddock sweepers feature a robust 4-wheel design that enhances stability, along with a large hopper that offers high-lift tip/discharge functionality.
With large rear wheels and front castors, these PTO-powered paddock sweepers provide excellent stability and manoeuvrability. The sprung steel tines effectively loosen stubborn debris, while durable brushes collect it into the hopper. The hopper tilts using a hydraulic ram, allowing for easy unloading up to 1.5M.
Multi-Purpose Capability
Top Tip: The STX models are multi-purpose machines. By using a changer trolley, you can switch the brush rotor for a flail or scarifier rotor, making it a cost-effective 3-in-1 tool for all your paddock care needs.
