FAQ

As the leading edge of the Super Scooper passes over the surface of the pasture any horse manure that comes into contact with the scoop blade will roll into the collection tray. Where undulations and depressions are present below the level of the scoop blade, a small portion of horse manure may pass beneath the scoop tray.
In most terrains the Super Scooper will recover between 75 to 95% of horse manure with a single pass.

Although it is possible to tow a super Scooper with a conventional or 4wd car, we don’t recommend it for a couple of reasons. Primarily the difficulty is one of visibility. With a car it is quite difficult for the driver to see where the scoop tray is and to view how much manure has been collected.
Also, a car is wider than the Super Scooper and this limits how close to fences and fixed obstructions the scoop tray may be able to collect the horse manure .

The Super Scooper works as well as a shovel, we have found the once we have scooped one direction we turn 180 degrees (and/or) 90 degrees and go over it again. It gets ~80%, what's left dries and can be scooped up in the next cycle.

In general, it’s best to wait until your horse manure is firm before running the Super Scooper over it as it may spread the manure across the ground. Otherwise the Super Scooper will perform well on a wet pasture, provided the terrain is not overly muddy and you still have good towing traction.

Regular use of the Super Scooper will have a positive effect upon pasture and horse yard areas. Gradually all loose stones and small depressions will be eliminated from these areas and the terrain surface will become smoother. The first time a Super Scooper is used small bumps, stones and soil outcrops are likely to be collected along with the horse manure .
Subsequent use in the same areas will see a steady improvement in the surface quality and as a result horses will tend graze more evenly when heavy areas of horse manure are eliminated.

If you can safely drive on the hill you can scoop the hill. See the Hill video.

This topic is covered in some detail within the user guide and warranty document, but in general this should be limited to around 60Kg / 132lb.
This means that the Super Scooper is ideal for transporting two regular 25Kg / 55lb hay bales to a feed area.

The dimensions of the Super Scooper tray are 123cm / 49 inches (Length) x 121cm / 48 inches (Width) and 30cm / 12 inches (Height). (these dimensions exclude the towing hitch and the trailer wheels.) Its weight is approximately 40kg / 88 lb Empty the Super Scooper weighs 46kg.

Testing and customer feedback have shown that the Super Scooper can also be used successfully on Alpaca manure . While Alpaca manure tends to crumble into small pellets and that this effect varies with the amount of water presently in the pasture, they also tend to excrete in the same location many times. This can quickly build up to a large heap that the Super Scooper can deal with effectively. Cattle manure is not as easy to deal with as it is very soft and tends to seep into grass making it difficult to extract with a Super Scooper and this is not recommended, although limited success has been reported after cattle manure has had some time to dry out.

The most important thing to remember here is to store it empty. Like any trailer equipment, leaving concentrated manure inside for extended periods will promote corrosion. Storing it flat on the ground will tend to make it collect water, so store it vertically against a wall or fence – or even completely inverted. We recommend that the removable Towing Bar be extracted from the Super Scooper during storage where it may present a tripping hazard to people and horses passing by.

Rocks that are loose and small in size are likely to be collected by the scoop tray without difficulty. Some common sense must be applied where there are exposed rocky outcrops that could snag a passing Super Scooper. This would place unnecessary stress on the towing vehicle, the towing hitch arrangement and the leading edge of the scoop tray.

In general, most Ride on Mowers or Quad Bikes will have the capacity to tow the Super Scooper, however we don’t recommend anything under 11 horsepower.

It will hold about 60kg of manure (about 2 wheelbarrows full), by using the leverage of a fulcrum the weight is easy to maneuver and empty. The Super Scooper is also designed to accommodate 2 hay bales as a yard trailer.
