Introduction

Kubota welcomes you to the growing family of new 
product owners. This Skid Steer Grades has been 
designed with care and built by skilled workers using 
quality materials. Proper assembly, maintenance, and 
safe operating practices will help you get years of 
satisfactory use from this attachment. 

Application

The Kubota AP-SG25 Series Skid Steer Graders come in 
72" (model AP-SG2572) and 84" (model AP-SG2584) 
working widths. They are designed for attaching to 40-95 
hp skid steer loaders and tractors equipped with a front 
loader and skid steer style mounting hitch plate.

Skid Steer Graders have uses and applications in 
landscaping, farms, ranches, dairies, construction sites, 
hunting camps, fishing camps, logging sites, mining 
operations, large estates, small acreages, sod farms, 
and municipal and county rural road maintenance 
facilities. These Skid Steer Graders are uniquely 
designed to be a user-friendly, low-cost alternative for 
road grading applications. 

Simply setting a properly adjusted AP-SG25 Series Skid 
Steer Grader on the ground, putting lift arms in float, and 
driving forward enables the operator to grade off high 
spots and fill in ruts and low spots on unimproved roads 
and lanes with little or no manipulation of the skid steer 
hitch controls. The AP-SG25 Series Skid Steer Grader 
simply and quickly moves dirt or aggregate from high 
spots to low spots. Should a large accumulation of 
unwanted buildup of soil and/or aggregate occur 
between the blades, initiating a slight raise on the skid 
steer or tractor lift controls will allow excess material to 
flow out uniformly and evenly under the leveling grader 
blades.
