soil conditioner

Looking for a used Bobcat 48" manual soil conditioner near middle Tn.

Don't know of any but will keep my eyes open. Since you posted this in the Toolcat forum, are you planning on hooking to a Toolcat? If so be advised a 48" Bobcat soil conditioner has a narrower Bobtach hook up than the Toolcat. This soil conditioner was built for use on the walk behind track machines (MT52 & 55) and smallest skid-loader they make (was 463, now S-70).

Thanks...did not know that. I do plan to use the soil conditioner on my Toolcat. What is the smallest manual soil conditioner that will work?

Bobcat makes a 60 inch. I use an 80 inch on mine and it works great.

O.K. Anybody selling a 60" manual soil conditioner near middle Tn.?

60" is the smallest that will fit your Bobtach. You can get 60" & 72" in either manual angle adjust or hydraulic. You can update a manual to hydraulic by adding the diverter valve and control harness or change hydraulic to manual by removing the cylinder and installing the telescopic link. Frames on both are the same. In case you come across a good buy on a hydraulic version and don't have the ACD harness on your Toolcat.

I bought a manual angle for my use because the Bobcat dealer made me an offer that I couldn't pass up. I now wish that I had bought the hydraulic version. When I bought it the dealer told me that I could add the hydraulic parts later but when I wanted to convert it they told me that I couldn't.
