Skid-Pro 96-Inch Soil Conditioner Skid Steer

Overview

Skid-Pro's 96-inch soil conditioner is one of the widest direct-drive hydraulic soil conditioners available for large-frame skid steers. The 10¾-inch rotor with full-length carbide teeth processes soil in a single pass — breaking up clods, sizing aggregate, and leaving a graded surface for seeding or sod. At 96 inches across this is designed for production-scale work: large commercial turf projects, sports fields, and high-volume landscaping contracts where coverage per pass directly impacts job efficiency. Hydraulic angle standard. 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

Wide attachment — verify your machine's rated operating capacity (ROC) before ordering. Best suited to large-frame machines (S750+ class or equivalent CTL).

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.
