TILLAGE ATTACHMENTS & IMPLEMENTS

A tillage attachment is a powered attachment or tractor implement that helps you loosen, cut, mix or shape soil to prepare ground for planting, landscaping or food plots. Bobcat tillage options cover both loader-mounted and 3-point hitch tools. 

Tillage attachments are used to speed up common soil-prep work, including: 

• Breaking up hard, compacted ground. 
• Mixing compost, fertilizer, manure or mulch into soil. 
• Preparing smooth seedbeds for planting. 
• Cutting and mixing crop residue. 
• Making furrows for planting (and lifting root crops at harvest). 

In this category, Bobcat tillage tools include: 

1. Hydraulic tiller (loader attachment): soil prep with adjustable skid shoes, bi-directional rotation and offset mounting. 
2. 3-point tiller (tractor implement): PTO-driven tilling with forward/reverse rotation and adjustable depth. 
3. 3-point disc harrow (tractor implement): angled disc gangs to cut and mix soil/residue; adjustable gang angles. 
4. 3-point middle buster (tractor implement): creates deep furrows and can lift root crops; depth set with the 3-point hitch. 

For compact/utility tractors, Bobcat tillage implements in this category are: 

• 3-point tiller (PTO-driven) 
• 3-point disc harrow (Category 1 or 2) 
• 3-point middle buster (Category 1) 

Start with your machine, then match the tool to the job: 

• Choose a loader-mounted tiller when you want maneuverability, quick attachment changes, and the ability to work close to sidewalks, curbs and buildings (offset mount helps). 
• Choose a 3-point tiller when you want PTO-driven soil prep behind the tractor (great for gardens, plots and acreage work). 
• Choose a 3-point disc harrow when you need to cut and mix across larger areas, break up compacted soil, or incorporate residue with adjustable gang angles. 
• Choose a 3-point middle buster when you want deep, clean furrows for planting rows or when you need to lift root crops. 

Also consider soil type/rockiness, desired depth, working width, and whether your tractor is Category 1 or 2 compatible. For the best experience, contact your local Bobcat dealer for guidance and support on choosing the right tillage attachment or implement for your machine.

Choose the right tillage tool based on the finish you want, the soil and residue conditions, and whether you’re doing row work. Here’s how the three options typically differ: 

• Tiller: Best when you need a fine, uniform seedbed. A tiller breaks up clods and blends amendments thoroughly, making it ideal for gardens, landscaping and final prep before planting. 
• Disc harrow: Best for cutting, breaking and mixing across larger areas or tougher ground. A disc harrow helps condition soil, incorporate residue and prepare plots efficiently when you don’t need a “powdered” finish. 
• Middle buster: Best for furrowing and harvest support. A middle buster opens clean, deeper rows for planting or irrigation and can lift root crops with minimal setup and minimal soil mixing. 

If you’re still deciding, match the tool to your carrier (loader vs. tractor), target depth and working width – then confirm compatibility and sizing with your local Bobcat dealer.
