One Attachment, Four Seasons — Sibom’s Skid Steer Multi-Purpose Spreader Delivers Year-Round Profits for Your CAT, Bobcat, or Kubota

Piles of bulk salt in January, turf seed in April, top-dress fertilizer in July, grit for icy sidewalks in November — every season asks your skid-steer loader to handle a new material and a new jobsite rhythm. Buying dedicated spreaders for each task bleeds capital, clutters the yard, and leaves half your iron idle eleven months a year. Sibom looked at that waste and replied with one elegant answer: a multi purpose spreader attachment that self-loads like a bucket, meters like a broadcast spinner, and bolts on to any universal quick plate your fleet already owns, from heavy CAT XHP track machines to agile Bobcat S-series wheels and field-proven Kubota SSLs.

Tilt -n-Scoop: Self-Loading Means No Dismounts

Forget shoveling salt into a chest-high hopper or backing a loader beneath a clumsy auger chute. The Sibom design begins with a tilt hopper material spreader body that curls just like a general-purpose bucket: drive into the pile, roll back, and the cutting edge’s hardened steel cutting edge spreader lip slices a clean scoop. An internal steel agitator spreader stirs the load while you carry, breaking clumps so flow starts the moment the gate opens. Operators never leave the seat, never breathe dust, and never lose minutes to manual fill. That “no dismount hopper filler” workflow is why crews nicknamed the attachment the tilt n scoop spreader after one shift.

Hydraulic Muscle, Precision Control

A compact PERMCO motor spreader drives a stainless spinner cup through a reduction box, generating uniform patterns from narrow sidewalk bands to 30-foot parking-lot throws. Spinner RPM ties to an in-cab rheostat, transforming the tool into a manual flow control spreader at the turn of a dial. Open the manual gate spreader plate wide for high-rate salt slurry, close it to a sliver for fine bent-grass seed — the same hardware works because every component downstream of the gate is corrosion-proof or tool-less to clean.

Hydraulics couple via ½-inch flat-face quicks; CAT Smart Attach machines power auto-detent, while Bobcat and Kubota AUX ports feed the same hydraulic motor spreader without case drains. That universality makes the Sibom head the go-to hydraulic spreader skid steer choice for mixed fleets and rental yards.

Skirts On, Skirts Off — Your Pattern, Your Edge

Municipal crews asked for curb accuracy; turf contractors wanted wide sweeps. Sibom answered with a spreader with adjustable skirt system. Snap the removable shield on three pins and you get a sidewalk curb spreader that drops de-icer exactly onto concrete, not into expensive landscape beds. Pull the skirt, twist the angle fins, and you have a long range spreader attachment able to broadcast polymer-coated urea over a two-acre soccer pitch. Nothing to bend, nothing to lose — the parts ride in a cradle on the rear sheet.

Built to Survive Salt, Sand, and Seasons

Corrosion is a silent killer, so the heart of the Sibom hopper is hot-dipped steel wrapped in a marine-grade topcoat. Fasteners use zinc-nickel plating; the spinner disc is powder-coated aluminum. Hydraulic lines hide behind bolt-on armor, and every electrical connector meets IP-67. The end result is a corrosion resistant spreader that stands up to brine and fertilizer alike. For contractors chasing winter work, that means your winter salt spreader still looks showroom-fresh when leaf season returns.

Key wear points are replaceable: the edge bar unbolts, agitator paddles pin off, and the spinner drops with a single cotter. Those choices form the backbone of Sibom’s promise of a long-life asphalt spreader and a durable skid steer spreader with downtime measured in hours, not days.

Adjust Once, Spread All Morning

Legacy spreaders need constant spring-tension tweaks. Sibom’s cylinder-actuated gate slides under a linear scale; set millimeters of gap, lock, and forget. As humidity changes, the V-rib hopper walls shed sticking fines so the gate never chokes. If a frozen chunk lodges, a quick jog of the hydraulic motor spreader reverse clears the throat; no banging with shovels, no pulled backs. That is clog resistant hopper spreader engineering in action, built from field feedback of crews who despise downtime.

From Black Ice to Black Dirt—One Calendar, One Tool

Snow salt spreader skid steer duty kicks off with bulk sodium in January. February blends add micro grit for traction, riding the same screw agitator without jam. March melts, and the hopper cleans fast with a rinse, turning into a skid steer seed spreader for park turf renovation. April invites farm seed spreader attachment work on food plots. Summer top-dress requires only a gate tweak to become a skid steer fertilizer spreader, and autumn leaf compost blends finish the year.

Nothing sits idle. Finance teams call that a four season spreader; operators call it job security.

Real-World Job Scenarios

• Parking lot salt spreader: two CAT 262D3s clear a 400-stall plaza in one hour, no walk-behind blowers required.

• Trail maintenance spreader: a Bobcat T66 broadcasts crusher fines on urban bike lanes, the skirt ensuring zero overspray onto lawns.

• Sports field seed spreader: a Kubota SVL75-2 spreads Kentucky blue over a high-school pitch with GPS mulch rates via proportional flow.

• Construction site blower companion: after a milling pass, the same loader drops hot sand for tack coat with the gravel spreader skid steer mode.

• Livestock feed spreader: a dairy co-op runs corn silage through the agitator to top bunkers, proving the hopper’s brute churn capacity.

Every story shares one theme: time saved equals payroll saved. Crews jump task to task because the attachment adapts with nothing more than a gate turn and skirt swap.

Safety and Environment

Traditional salt trucks drop piles at block ends, causing chloride burn and lawsuits. Sibom’s precision spreader attachment controls width so product lands only on surface. Variable flow minimizes bounce, reducing material cost and groundwater contamination—an eco friendly cleaning blower parallel in the de-icing world.

Spinner guards and in-cab shut-off protect pedestrians in tight traffic environments. A flat-top grate keeps rogue chunks from jamming augers; operators can fill with skid buckets without dismounting, achieving true labor-saving debris spreader workflow.

Final Word—Profit Rides on Precision

Spreaders have existed since salt met pavement, but one attachment that scoops, meters, adapts, and survives through every climate challenge is new. Sibom’s skid steer multi-purpose spreader shrinks equipment lists, thins labor rosters, and shrugs off the rust that kills cheap imports. Whether your CAT shoulders brine today, your Bobcat flings seed tomorrow, or your Kubota feeds bred heifers this weekend, the same hopper delivers.

Four seasons. One loader. Zero wasted motion. That is the Sibom way—faster jobs, cleaner surfaces, and a balance sheet that grins through snow and sun alike.
