Skid Steer Attachment Hydraulic Flow Chart GPM Requirements by Attachment
September 22, 2026
Best overall: the Skid Pro Skid Steer Seeder, a ground-driven seeder with a 72″ working width, 84″ overall width, 4-bushel hopper and 9″ XL rollers at 1,250 lbs. Best for loosening ground before you seed: the Soil Conditioner or Tiller. Best for final grading before you seed: the Landscape Rake or Land Leveler.
72″ — working width (84″ overall)
1,250 lbs — operating weight
4 bushels — hopper capacity
A seeder earns its keep through seed-to-soil contact and even coverage, not hopper paint. Skid Pro positions its seeder as an upgrade over a traditional broadcast seeder: it rolls, slices, drops seed and rolls again in one pass, so seed lands at a controlled depth instead of sitting on the surface.
Skid Pro builds the seeder manufacturer-direct in Alexandria, Minnesota (founded 2011). This guide covers the real product, its published seeding chart and the Skid Pro attachments that prep ground before seeding.
| Setup | Best for | Standout published specs | What to watch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seeder on a skid steer | Lawns, landscape, erosion-control and cover-crop seeding | 72″ working / 84″ overall; 1,250 lbs; 4-bushel hopper; 9″ XL rollers | Check the 1,250 lb weight against your loader |
| Seeder on a tractor 3-point | The same seeder on a tractor | 72″ comes standard with QT plate and 3-point with track busters | Track busters apply when running behind a tractor |
| Soil Conditioner or Tiller (prep) | Loosening hard or rough ground before seeding | See product pages for widths and flow | A separate pass before the seeder |
| Landscape Rake or Land Leveler (prep) | Final grading and debris removal | See product pages | A separate pass before the seeder |
The Skid Pro Skid Steer Seeder spec table lists weight 1,250 lbs, working width 72″, overall width 84″ and frame size 3″ × 3″.
Published features include an all-steel design, a main frame of 3″ × 3″ thick-walled tube steel, XL 9″ cast rollers, a heavy-duty 2″ hardened steel axle, an oversized 4-bushel hopper, a shroud-covered chain drive, a walking-beam axle that follows ground contour, a 4-blade agitator, easy-lock rubber lid straps, a quick-start calibration guide inside the hopper lid and six-tine quick-adjust track busters. You set depth by increasing or decreasing pressure on the slicing discs.
Why it stands out:
Best for: landscapers, contractors and landowners seeding lawns, sports fields, wildflower and native plantings, cover crops and erosion-control areas. The product FAQ lists all of these seed types.
What to watch: At 1,250 lbs, confirm your loader’s rated operating capacity. The product page does not publish a hydraulic flow requirement, so confirm hookup details with a Product Guru.
The seeder product page includes a seeding chart with a recommended rate and seed drop setting for each crop. Selected rows:
| Crop | Seeding rate (lbs/acre) | Seed drop setting |
|---|---|---|
| Alfalfa | 15–20 | 1/8″ |
| Clover, Red | 8–12 | 1/8″ |
| Switchgrass | 8–14 | 1/8″ |
| Turnips | 3–4 | 3/32″ |
| Oats | 65–95 | 5/8″ |
| Rye Grass | 80–110 | 9/16″ |
| Blue Grass | 60–100 | 5/8″ |
| Turf Grass Mix | 60–100 | 5/8″ |
| Wheat | 120–180 | 11/16″ |
Best for: dialing in the adjustable gate before the first pass. A quick-start calibration guide is also inside the hopper lid.
What to watch: Treat the chart as a starting point and check coverage on your first pass.
The seeder works best on loose, level ground. Skid Pro sells the prep tools that go before it:
Best for: new lawns, reclamation areas and disturbed ground after construction.
What to watch: Each prep tool has its own width, weight and flow on its product page. Confirm those separately.
If you want to seed from a skid steer, buy the Skid Pro Seeder. It is the only seeder in the catalog. Set the gate from the published chart, and prep the ground first with a soil conditioner or tiller, followed by a landscape rake or land leveler. If you also run a tractor, the 72″ seeder’s 3-point hitch lets one seeder serve both machines.
The catalog has no separate PTO drill, box drill, slit seeder or seed-and-fertilizer spreader.
Talk to a Product Guru about weight, mount and setup for your machine.
