Built where the work gets done

Every Burchland attachment is built in our shop in Gilman, Iowa. We control the quality from raw steel to finished product, which means you get equipment that holds up on real job sites.

Fits any brand of skid steer

Universal mounts work with Cat, Deere, Bobcat, Kubota, New Holland, and Case. Mixed fleet or trading machines? The attachment moves with you.

Designed to do one thing well

No gimmicks, no features you’ll never use. The LGX hits grade. The AGT trims subgrade. The RMX rips ground. Equipment that pays for itself in saved hours.

Made in the USA

Every Burchland attachment is designed, built, and assembled in our Gilman, Iowa shop. Family-run, American-made, and built to last.

A skid steer is one of the most versatile machines on a job site, but it’s only as good as what you bolt onto it. Burchland makes skid steer attachments that turn a standard machine into a precision grading rig, a subgrade trimmer, or a ground-ripping site prep tool. Whether you’re prepping a building pad, cutting curb-and-gutter grade, finishing a parking lot, or knocking out a private driveway, our attachments are built to deliver consistent, professional results.

Contractors choose Burchland because our equipment cuts labor hours, reduces rework, and gives you the kind of accuracy that used to require a dozer, a motor grader, or a full crew of guys with shovels and stringline.

The LGX Laser Grader is the attachment contractors reach for when grade tolerance matters. It mounts to any standard skid steer and works with lasers, GPS, total stations, sonic tracers, and stringline, so you can run the same setup you’re already using on the rest of the job. Operators get sub-inch accuracy on parking lots, building pads, roads, and any surface where a clean finished grade is the difference between getting paid and doing it over.

  • Laser, GPS, total station, sonic tracer, and string line capable
  • Works with all major machine control brands
  • 270 degree hydraulic wing rotation
  • Converts from grader blade to box blade from the operator’s seat
  • Universal skid steer mount with mid-mounted stabilizing skid plate
  • Available in 7ft, 7.5ft, and 8ft blade widths

The AGT is built for contractors who need to cut subgrade to exact elevations before concrete or asphalt goes down. It’s a skid steer mounted trimmer that handles hard, compacted material and leaves a clean, uniform base for curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and building pads. Smaller than a full-size trimmer, the AGT moves between sites easily and works just as well on a tight residential job as it does on a commercial project.

  • Precision elevation cuts with a smooth finish
  • Cuts subgrade for curbs, gutters, sidewalks, pads, and parking lots
  • Compatible with GPS, robotic total stations, lasers, and sonic tracers
  • Direct-drive hydraulic rotor reduces maintenance
  • Built to speed up slip-form curb prep and finish grading
  • Easy to move between job sites

Trim subgrade to the correct elevation before base material or paving.

curb and gutter paving

Trim precise edges and elevations for slip-form curb crews.

sidewalk paving

Prep consistent subgrade for proper thickness and alignment.

Cut to exact elevation before foundation work begins.

Cut a uniform base before any pour to cut rework and improve finish.

Not every contractor needs every tool. The best way to figure out which Burchland attachment makes sense for your operation is to start with the work you’re already doing and the bottleneck you’re trying to fix. Here’s how our equipment usually breaks down by trade.

Grading and Excavation Contractors

If you’re moving dirt and hitting grade all day, the LGX Laser Grader is the one. It replaces the slow back-and-forth of checking grade by hand, lets a single operator finish work that used to take two or three guys with shovels, and gets into tight spots a motor grader can’t reach. Pair it with the RMX Rear Mounted Ripper for site prep on hard or compacted ground.

Concrete and Curb Contractors

Subgrade is everything on a concrete job. Pour over a sloppy base and you’re either eating the cost in extra concrete or fixing problems later. The AGT Auto Grading Soil Trimmer gives you a clean, exact subgrade for slip-form curb, sidewalk, and flatwork jobs. Crews running the AGT typically pour faster and waste less material.

Paving Contractors

Paving is a tolerance game. The LGX handles finish grading on parking lots, roads, and driveways before asphalt or chip-seal goes down, and the AGT handles the precision subgrade work that the LGX is too rough for. A lot of paving contractors run both, using each one for the part of the job it does best.

Site Prep and General Contractors

If your work jumps between projects (one week it’s a building pad, the next it’s a private drive, the next it’s a parking lot expansion), you need attachments that flex. The LGX is the most versatile piece in the lineup, since it grades anything from rough cut to finish work. Add the RMX for breaking ground and you’ve covered most of what a small site prep crew needs.

Road and Highway Contractors

For long stretches of road work, the LGX keeps a consistent finish grade across the full length of a project. Operators stay in the cab, the grade stays accurate, and you’re not stopping every fifty feet to check elevation. Good fit for shoulder work, gravel road maintenance, and rural road construction.

Landscape/Site Development Contractors

Driveways, walkways, retention areas, and rough site shaping. The LGX handles the finish grading, the AGT cleans up the precision work, and the RMX breaks ground when you need to start from scratch. All three mount to the skid steer you’re already running.

What skid steer attachments do contractors use most?

The most common contractor attachments are graders, soil trimmers, rippers, and material rollers. The exact mix depends on the type of work. Grading contractors tend to lean on the LGX Laser Grader, concrete crews use the AGT Auto Grading Soil Trimmer for subgrade prep, and most contractors keep a ripper like the RMX on hand for site prep.

Will Burchland attachments fit my skid steer?

Most likely yes. Our attachments are built with universal skid steer mounts and work with any major brand including Cat, John Deere, Bobcat, Kubota, New Holland, and Case. We always recommend confirming hydraulic flow specs for your specific machine.

What kind of contractors get the most out of Burchland equipment?

Paving contractors, concrete contractors, grading contractors, site prep crews, general contractors, road builders, and landscape contractors all use our attachments. Anyone who has to hit a precise grade or prep ground for finished work benefits from the equipment.

How fast can I get a Burchland attachment delivered?

Lead times depend on the attachment and current production schedule. Call us at 641-498-2063 or fill out the form below and we’ll give you a straight answer based on what’s in stock and what’s being built.

Where is Burchland equipment made?

Every Burchland attachment is designed, built, and assembled at our facility in Gilman, Iowa. Made in the USA, from a small family-run manufacturer.

Can a skid steer grader attachment replace a motor grader on small jobs?

For many contractors, yes. A laser-guided skid steer grader like the LGX can hit the same accuracy as a motor grader on parking lots, driveways, building pads, and smaller commercial sites. It also gets into tight spots a motor grader can’t reach, which is why a lot of contractors run both.

How much labor does a laser grader actually save?

Contractors typically report cutting grading labor by 30 to 50 percent on the right jobs. The bigger savings come from rework. When you hit grade the first time, you stop paying to fix it twice.

Do you offer financing or rentals?

For purchase and financing options, give us a call at 641-498-2063 and we can walk you through what’s available. For rental availability in your area, reach out and we’ll point you to a dealer who carries Burchland equipment.

What kind of warranty comes with Burchland equipment?

All Burchland attachments come with a manufacturer warranty. Contact us for the specifics on the model you’re interested in.

Can I get a custom skid steer attachment built?

Yes. Burchland builds custom skid steer attachments for contractors with specific job site needs. If our standard lineup doesn’t fit what you’re doing, call us and we’ll talk through what we can build for you.

 

“When we first got the grader it was really appealing because we could hook it onto a skid loader and get in tight spots and more confined areas that we wouldn’t get into with a dozer or a bigger machine. The grader is pretty unique for us because we do a variety of different projects ranging from roads to parking lots. The grader is accurate within a quarter inch and it really takes out a lot of the fine work that you would do with a laborer.”

– Trevor Drish | Drish Construction

“We’ve been running the Burchland Trimmer since the summer of 2018. We run the trimmer on our curb and gutter jobs to get the grade correct before we pour curbs. It makes our slip form curb process much easier. It’s an awesome monster!”
