Slice Pavement, Shred Bedrock, and Carve Perfect Trenches with Sibom’s Skid Steer Wheel Saw

Paving contractors, municipal repair crews, fiber-optic installers, and ranch irrigation specialists all share the same bottleneck: they need straight, uniform trenches cut through asphalt, cured concrete, or stubborn limestone—often on job sites too tight or too remote for a full-size saw truck. Sibom’s new skid steer wheel saw turns any compact loader you already own—whether it’s a CAT, Bobcat, or Kubota—into a precision trenching powerhouse that rivals dedicated milling rigs yet travels on the same trailer that hauls your bucket and forks.

One Attachment, Infinite Trenches

At the heart of the system is a high-strength, abrasion-steel wheel rim fitted with a ring of replaceable tooth wheel saw picks. Powered by a powerful hydraulic motor saw—or upgrade to the optional electro-hydraulic wheel saw package for automated feedback—the cutter bites through everything from spalled pavement to 28,000-psi granite. Because each cutter segment is captured by a single wedge pin, a tech can perform a rapid tooth change wheel saw service in under three minutes with a cordless impact gun—no special press, no pullers, no lost production.

Crews on utility corridors praise the attachment for laying perfectly straight, uniform width wheel saw trenches down to telecom or gas-line spec. Landscaping outfits love the optional 3-inch waffled cutter that leaves a clean edge for landscape edging. Highway contractors drop in the 8-inch asphalt ring to surgically remove failed lane seams so milling trucks no longer over-cut. And geothermal installers build a reputation for neat, narrow trench wheel saw loops without the backfill headaches that a bucket trench leaves behind.

Depth Control from the Cab

Every Sibom wheel head rides a dual-slide carriage guided by nitro-carburized rails. Dial depth through a rotary knob—fine graduations etched in stainless—making it a true depth adjustable wheel saw. Whether you need a 2-inch groove for an expansion joint wheel saw pass or a 30-inch dig for water line trench saw duty, the same attachment delivers. Sensors tie into your loader’s 14-pin harness, flashing real-time depth on a dash display. CAT’s deluxe joysticks map wheel raise/lower to the left paddle; Bobcat’s SJC and Kubota’s proportional AUX paddles operate identically. No third electronic box, no tablet, just native loader controls.

Dig Next to Obstacles with Precision Side-Shift

Utility easements rarely line up with open pavement. A curb, light pole, or fence tends to land exactly where your trench must start. Sibom solves that by mounting the cutter on an offset carriage, giving operators a side-shift wheel saw that glides 18 inches left-right under hydraulic power. Hug a concrete jersey barrier, track against a building footing, or straddle a sidewalk seam—without repositioning the loader’s tires. Because the offset assembly locks with a steel wedge bar, there is zero drift even under full side load in hard rock wheel saw duty.

Torque That Doesn’t Quit—Even in Solid Limestone

A high torque wheel saw hydraulic motor spins through a two-stage planetary reducer bathing in 90-weight oil. Flow dividers keep shaft speed constant whether your CAT 299D3’s 40 gpm high-flow pump or your Kubota SVL75’s standard 18 gpm circuit supplies the juice. That means the cutter stays in the ideal feet-per-minute window, eliminating tooth glaze and extending life. An internal relief valve protects hoses when a hidden rebar stub bites back.

Built-In Stability and Safety

A pair of trailing shoes follows the wheel circumference—one steel, one polyurethane. Together they skim the surface, turning the assembly into a vibration-limited wheel saw with class-leading operator comfort. Should your loader drop into a pothole, a nitrogen snubber cylinder absorbs the shock so the wheel edge never spalls. Weld-in gussets cage the motor logarithmically; even if a tooth snaps free, containment stays intact. The result is a safety-focused wheel saw that meets municipal spec without a supplemental guard.

Cut Dry, Breathe Easy

Concrete and asphalt dust wreck lungs and optics, so Sibom engineered a dustless wheel saw system using a twin-jet mist bar that clamps under the motor shroud. A 25-gallon poly tank nests on the loader coupler, powered by a 12-volt diaphragm pump. Crack the valve and the curtain knocks down silica without the slurry mess typical of full-flood cuts. For rock cutting wheel saw applications underground or in mines, swap to the optional vacuum shroud and inline HEPA.

Four Minutes from Bucket to Saw

Grab the ISO plate, tilt, lock. Flat-face couplers connect—case drain optional. Plug the 7-pin or 14-pin harness, raise the boom, and the in-cab screen goes live. Total change-over averages four minutes. Because no hoses cross the coupler plate, you avoid tire snags in tight alleys. A simple spring latch holds the side-shift carriage when traveling, and welded tie-downs match DOT strap angles for legal road loads.

Real-World Missions

• Road repair rock saw: DOT teams carve expansion joints across bridge decks without full closures.

• Irrigation trench saw: Golf-course superintendents install new greens loop without scalping turf.

• Mining wheel saw: Hard-rock miners in Nevada cut cable troughs across the muck bay, the wheel’s sealed motor thriving amid blasting dust.

Maintenance Designed by Mechanics, Not Marketers

A single bolt drops the cutter hub for tooth swap. The gearbox sight glass faces outboard for at-a-glance checks. Zerks group at chest height; hit the block with an air grease gun and go. That’s why rental fleets call the Sibom the maintenance-friendly wheel saw—it invests in uptime, not shop hours.

Durable Enough for Rentals, Precise Enough for Surgical Work

Every wear plate uses 450 Brinell alloy, every gusset double-pass welded and stress relieved. Bushings ride in case-hardened steel; seals use triple-lip wipers. Operators report tooth life exceeding 5,000 linear feet in asphalt and double that in limestone, making the Sibom a long-life cutter wheel saw ready for contractor abuse.

Why a Sibom Wheel Saw Beats Square-Cut Milling

Mills are loud, dusty, and over-wide; a clean cut wheel saw trims exactly to spec so patch asphalt meets old pavement flush. That means less hot-mix tonnage, fewer compaction passes, faster lane reopening, and lower material costs for contractors—advantages that add real dollars to every bid.

Final Scoop—Carve Clean, Carve Fast, Carve Anywhere

From rock wheel trenches on mountaintop wind farms to precision wheel saw grooves beside city curbs, Sibom delivers the only attachment that turns a CAT, Bobcat, or Kubota loader into a rock-eating, asphalt-ripping, conduit-ready blade on demand. Hook it, set depth, feather the joysticks, and watch sparks—or dust-free mist—trace a perfect line your crew can backfill without guessing.

One loader, one trailer, one attachment, infinite straight cuts. That is the Sibom promise: Professional performance, rental-fleet durability, loader-level economy. Snap on the wheel, set your trench, and roll profit all the way to the bank.
