Bobcat Soil Conditioner

Bobcat Soil Conditioner.

Prepare the land and lay a good foundation with the soil conditioner attachment. The rotating drum is equipped with carbide-tipped teeth, which rip through clumps and penetrate the soil.

To level and grade a surface, lock the drum for a box blade effect. Or place the drum in the float position to prepare the soil while following the contours of the terrain. The soil conditioner is a versatile, cost-effective attachment no landscaping crew should be without.

Applications for the soil conditioner attachment include leveling ground, clearing debris, tilling soil, tearing out sod, smoothing ruts, moving material, grading topsoil, and cutting swales. Other applications include preparing the ground for seeding, sodding, and tree planting. Pulverize the soil while leveling and filling in fewer passes with the soil conditioner attachment.

How It Works
Carbide-tipped teeth on the drum easily rip through hardpan and pulverize clumps. Clumps are ground up, and rocks and other debris are windrowed to the edge of the jobsite. A rubber flap above the drum keeps larger material from going over the drum while allowing fine materials through for a smooth finish. The drum rotates in either direction to allow working in forward or reverse.

Box blade end wings are standard to help move large amounts of material and fill in low spots. Remove the end wings to allow for even distribution of material.

60-inch and larger models come standard with an oscillating bolster. Oscillation keeps the drum parallel to the ground and helps minimize the effect of bumps and potholes, resulting in a smoother finish in fewer passes. The oscillating bolster combined with hydraulic depth and angle controls also make it easy to cut swales for drainage and to sculpt the land.

60-inch and larger models also come standard with the ability to lock the drum or allow it to float. In the locked position, the soil conditioner acts much like a box blade and will level the surface. In the float position, the drum is able to float over the terrain, preparing the soil without leveling sculpted land.

Features
Carbide-Tipped Teeth: Easily rip through hardpan and pulverize clumps for maximum ground penetration. Individual teeth are replaceable for easy attachment maintenance.
Direct Drive Hydraulic Motor: Eliminates the need for sprockets and chains, resulting in a more durable product which requires minimal maintenance.
Drum Positioning: Lock the drum for a box blade effect, or allow the drum to float for preparing soil without altering land features.
Foam-Filled Tires: Featured on the 72- and 84-inch hydraulic and high-flow models, foam-filled tires provide better uptime protection by eliminating flat tires on the jobsite.
Front Bolster: Designed with a wide stance, the front bolster provides enough room between the wheels and drum to let material in front of the drum, delivering better grade control. Flip the bolster up to create extra room for storage or when transporting.
Increased Drum Torque: High-flow models feature increased drum torque for moving more dirt and grading more efficiently. Increased drum torque is especially beneficial when operating in rich soils.
Oscillating Bolster: Keeps the drum parallel to the ground and minimizes elevation changes from bumps and potholes.
Removable End Plates: Used to achieve a box blade effect. When removable end plates are attached, soil in front of the drum is carried along and can be used to fill in low spots for an even finish. Without, material is pushed to the side and can later be picked up with a bucket.
Rubber Flap: Keeps large material from going over the drum and allows finer material through.
