Ground Preparation Attachments

Ground Preparation is a critical element to any successful hydro seeding job. Loosened soil and good seed to soil contact helps ensure the best results by giving your seed the best opportunity to establish a deep and healthy root system. As the leader in HydroSeeders®, Finn is proud to offer our line of Ground Preparation Attachments.

Finn Ground Preparation attachments are available for Skid Steers, Mini Skid Steers and Tractors. Each tool is designed to Clear, Loosen, Level, and Rake the soil to leave the ideal seedbed. And although they accomplish the same task, each is has its place depending on the equipment you own and the size of the job.

The GT Series is designed for tractors to prepare larger areas. The GS Series is designed for skid steers and the GM series for Mini Skid Steers for those tight areas when you don’t have room for larger equipment. Each Series is available in Standard or Pro Models to allow you to select the attachment that is exactly what you need. See the descriptions below and then contact us with your questions.
