Werk-Brau 84-Inch Soil Conditioner for Large Skid Steers
🟢 Standard Flow
View on werk-brau.com →
Overview
The Werk-Brau 84-inch soil conditioner is a wide-drum hydraulic attachment for large-scale commercial landscaping and seedbed preparation on large-frame skid steers. The 84-inch drum covers more area per pass than narrower models, reducing machine time on large lawns, parks, and athletic fields. Carbide-tipped rotor tines break through compacted topsoil to produce a fine seedbed for seeding or sodding. Ohio-built by Werk-Brau to commercial-duty specifications. Pairs with standard-flow auxiliary hydraulics. Available through authorized Werk-Brau dealers in 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
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
