Ignite Attachments’ New Soil Conditioner Works with Compact Tractors
Gravel drives with deep ruts. Hard-packed soil that resists seeding. Landscape projects that need a clean, even finish. For homeowners with acreage and professional landscapers alike, the right product can turn hours of manual work into a quick pass with a compact tractor.
Ignite Attachments, a manufacturer of compact equipment attachments, adds to its growing lineup of products with a new soil conditioner designed to make cleanup, grading and seedbed preparation easier and more efficient. The PTO-powered implement was created to address key job site frustrations with a smarter design that works harder and lasts longer. Compatible with compact tractors in the 18-to-60-horsepower range, the implement is available in 48-, 60- and 72-inch widths.
The product was recently shown at Equip Expo 2025 in Louisville, Ky.
The Ignite soil conditioner was designed and engineered entirely in-house and manufactured in the United States using top-tier components and processes. Built with feedback from landscape professionals and shaped by extensive FEA modeling and field testing, this implement is designed to deliver rugged performance, intuitive operation and maintenance-saving features.
"We set out to build a product that delivers professional-grade performance without overcomplicating the design or blowing the budget," said Darin Gronwold, product manager for Ignite Attachments. "Everything about this implement, from the spiral drum to the tool-less adjustments, is about making tough jobs simpler and more productive."
Key features include:
• Spiral-pattern drum for consistent ground contact and a smooth finish, even on hardpack or uneven terrain.
• Slip clutch protection instead of shear pins to reduce downtime and protect tractor and implement during operation.
• Quick hitch compatibility and 540 PTO driveline for fast, hassle-free hookup.
• Flip-up wing kits to increase surface coverage or allow rocks and debris to pass to the side.
• Adjustable rubber deflector with single-pin tilt-away action to control material flow without tools.
• Manual or optional hydraulic angle adjustment to create windrows or shift material as needed.
• Fiber-reinforced rubber deflector and sealed chain box with external tension adjustment for reduced maintenance and longer life.
"Whether you're fixing up a gravel lane or prepping a new lawn, this implement is built to handle it," Gronwold said. "We engineered it to minimize vibration and prevent hopping, so you get a consistent finish even in tough soil. And compared to other options on the market, it delivers that premium-grade performance with the kind of durability you'd expect at a much more accessible price point."
