Sibom Heavy-Duty Skid Steer Rotary Tillage Device—The Ultimate Sand-Bedding Scarifier and Soil-Conditioner for CAT, Bobcat & Kubota Loaders
Bedding that packs like concrete is more than an inconvenience; it’s a silent profit-eater. Cows develop hock lesions in sand stalls, horses slip on compacted arena footing, and greenhouse beds turn into root-binding bricks. Every hour you (or your crew) spend ripping, raking, and re-leveling by hand is an hour not spent milking, feeding, or finishing the next landscaping contract. Sibom designed the skid steer rotary tillage device to end that grind. In one hydraulic hookup it becomes a skid steer sand bedding scarifier, a stall-leveling auger, an arena finisher, and a soil-mixing powerhouse—ready to clip onto any CAT®, Bobcat®, or Kubota® compact loader.
A Rotary Drum Built for Packed Sand and Tough Soil
At the heart of the attachment spins a balanced sand bedding rotary drum driven by a high-displacement hydraulic motor. Large ports and protected hydraulic lines tiller routing keep flow unrestricted, so even loaders running mid-range auxiliary gallons achieve full torque. When you dial up a CAT high-flow package the head still runs cool, courtesy of case-hardened bearings and a generously vented gearbox—no scorching seals, no shaft wobble, just relentless bite.
Welded to that drum sit rows of bedding tiller with scarifier teeth, each formed from abrasion-resistant steel. Want more aggression for manure-pack pens? Swap to wider chisels. Need a fine surface for a botanical garden path? Bolt on the knife-edge kit. Whatever the profile, every tine seats in a gusseted saddle; you never lose shanks when you hit a buried stone or frozen ridge.
Because sand and compost never wear evenly, Sibom added adjustable scarifier teeth tiller brackets. Slide each tooth bar inward for narrow pen alleys, extend them for 84-inch dairy lanes, or offset left for curb-follow passes. That geometry, combined with the pendulum mounts, produces the most adaptable rotary bedding tiller skid steer you’ll ever pin to a quick-tach.
Break, Loosen, and Level in a Single Pass
The first half-turn fractures compaction. The second fluffs material, drawing air and resetting drainage. The trailing deflector then floats over the top, acting like a bedding flattener attachment that leaves a uniform plane for hooves or tires. In sand barns that means fewer wet pot-holes and healthier udders. In equine arenas it means even concussion and predictable rebound under every gait. And on greenhouse benches it means you achieve that crumbly, seed-ready tilth without hauling in fresh mix.
The drum spins on a high-torque bedding tiller motor that prefers grunt over scream. Low RPM lowers particulate dust and lengthens tooth life, earning its badge as a low maintenance bedding tiller while keeping sensitive livestock calm during aisle passes.
Depth Control at Your Thumb
Too shallow and you only polish the surface; too deep and you burn fuel moving soil you didn’t need to disturb. An indexed depth shoe on each side plate turns with gloved fingers, giving you true bedding depth control tiller accuracy in quarter-inch clicks. Raise it for poultry litter crusts, drop it for compacted bedding breaker duty in winter freestalls, or split-level the two sides when you’re grooming an arena footing scarifier crown.
When you need to profile trench edges or push bedding uphill against stall dividers, engage the hydraulic swing to bias the whole head—a genius twist on the classic box blade that turns the tool into an adjustable angle material pusher without ever leaving the seat.
Reinforced to Outlive Your Loader
Productivity dies when welds crack. Sibom’s frame plates overlap, and every joint receives a gusset plus a shear web. The tine bar carries a gusset plate scarification tool insert, while the outer housing uses high-strength steel with stress-relief slots to eliminate corner tears. That structure transforms the unit into a truly heavy-duty bedding scarifier that shreds dry-lot packs today, then buses to a landscape project to act as a soil scarifier skid steer tomorrow—no shop downtime between jobs.
Quick Attach, Global Mount
With the universal SSL plate standard and optional Euro coupler, the attachment qualifies as both a global mount tillage attachment and a universal skid mount scarifier. Snap it on a Kubota SSV, a Bobcat T630, or a CAT 262 without adapters. Plug the flat face coupler pusher fittings into any standard flow block and go. Need to run on a mini? Sibom offers a narrow drum for the stand-on market that still carries full-strength gearbox internals—so your mini skid steer saw chores evolve into professional bedding management with one purchase.

Quiet Confidence, Safer Barns
Animals spook at screeching tillers. Sibom’s balanced rotor and rubber-isolated side plates earn it the title of vibration reducing material pusher. Low-frequency hum, fewer decibels, calmer herd. Corner shields keep flung granules contained, protecting bunk faces and milking robots, and the exposed sides carry hi-viz chevrons so operators align without ramming. Safety, meet speed.
Real-World Results
A Wisconsin dairy running two CAT 262Ds and Sibom rotaries cut stall-maintenance labor by 40 percent, redirected hands to calf care, and logged fewer lameness events in six months. A Colorado dressage academy retired its walk-behind arena groomer, grooming an 80 × 200 arena in ten minutes flat with a Bobcat S66 and Sibom head. A Pacific Northwest greenhouse switched from rented rear-tine tillers to a Kubota SVL and rotary drum, prepping 10 raised beds in half the time and ditching manual shovel work entirely.
