Skid-Pro Soil Conditioner 84 inch

Overview

Skid-Pro's 84-inch soil conditioner is a direct-drive hydraulic attachment for large-frame skid steers doing commercial seedbed preparation, turf renovation, and landscape finish grading. The 10¾-inch rotor with full-length carbide teeth — not just carbide-tipped — breaks up compacted soil and grades it in one pass. A floating hitch keeps the drum in contact with uneven ground, and hydraulic angle adjustment is standard on Skid-Pro's conditioners. At 84 inches this is production-width for large turf contracts and commercial landscaping. Available in Canada through Skid-Pro dealers.

Is This Right For You?

Buy if

  • You prep lawns, residential lots, or acreage for seeding — soil conditioners remove rocks and till in one pass
  • Post-construction cleanup where you need to remove debris, rocks, and construction material from the surface
  • Subdivision lot seeding prep is regular work — soil conditioners are the go-to attachment for that job

Skip if

  • Deep tillage and soil mixing is your goal — a rototiller or subsoiler works better for that
  • Your ground is rocky or heavily compacted — you may need to scarify first before a soil conditioner works efficiently

Also consider

  • Power rake for lighter debris removal and final seedbed touch-up
  • Rototiller for agricultural plots needing deep tillage and amendment incorporation
Machine Compatibility

Compatible with all skid steer brands and compact track loaders via universal SSQA quick attach. Mid to large-frame machines (S450–S750 class) are the best fit for this width.

Care & Maintenance

  • Inspect carbide rotor teeth after every use — chipped or worn teeth cut unevenly and increase hydraulic motor load significantly
  • Replace teeth in matched pairs across the rotor to maintain balance — uneven tooth wear creates vibration that stresses motor bearings and the drive system
  • Grease rotor shaft bearing housings after every 8 hours of operation
  • Clean packed soil from behind the rotor guard and between tooth mounts after every use — buildup restricts rotation and can cause the rotor to stall in normal material
  • Check the hydraulic motor drive coupler and belts (if belt-driven) for wear weekly during active season — belt failure in the middle of a job is a common and avoidable breakdown

How to Connect

  1. Attach frame using Bob-Tach
  2. Connect hydraulic couplers for rotor motor
  3. Lower rotor to working depth before engaging rotation
  4. Make first pass at half speed to verify depth and rock clearance
Safety NoteSoil conditioners require firm soil contact — avoid engaging on hard pan or rock. High-flow required on most models.
