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
- Attach frame using Bob-Tach
- Connect hydraulic couplers for rotor motor
- Lower rotor to working depth before engaging rotation
- 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.
