Overview
TMG Industrial's TMG-SLR96 is a 96-inch skid steer scarifier for road grading, surface prep, and loosening compacted soil or hardpack gravel. Scarifiers use multiple ripping shanks to break up hard surfaces before grading or leveling. The TMG-SLR96 is a wider model suited for larger skid steers covering ground quickly on road maintenance and site prep work. Sold directly from TMG Industrial Canada.

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.
