The CT0800 Trner Composter is designed to be used on most skid loaders, including popular brands like John Deere®, Bobcat®, Caterpillar®, Gehl®, JCB®, CASE®, Kubota®, and others.

It is used in windrow composting practices and is perfect for composting leaves, yard waste, pig, beef and dairy cattle, chicken, and horse manure.
The CT0800 composter is designed for ease of use, attaching to your skid loader without needing any modifications. Simply latch the composter to the skid loader, hook up the hydraulic hoses, and you're ready to get to work. The composter features a heavy-duty 3" diameter center tube for increased rigidity and throughput, paired with a patented paddle design that ensures a complete mix and proper aeration of the material.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Hydraulic Driven Motor: The composter is powered by a hydraulic-driven motor that efficiently drives the rotor, ensuring optimal operation and consistent material turning.
- Mud Flaps: Mud flaps are bolted to the front of the unit to prevent material from flying forward, keeping your work area clean and controlled.
- Replaceable Paddles: The CT0800 allows for easy replacement of paddles when they become worn down, extending the life of the equipment and maintaining peak performance.
- Wide Range of Applications: The CT0800 is perfect for composting leaves, yard waste, pig, beef and dairy cattle, chicken, and horse manure, making it suitable for a variety of composting operations, from small farms to larger agricultural and waste management projects.
- Manufactured in Northwest Iowa: The CT0800 is proudly manufactured in Northwest Iowa, where Kooima Ag brings over 30 years of experience in designing and producing high-quality, durable agricultural equipment.
Paddle Design Patent: The unique paddle design (US Patent #10,617,061) incorporates more oxygen into the compost pile, which accelerates the decomposition process and creates a more efficient, uniform mix.
Inspection & Maintenance: Regularly inspect the skid turner for worn or broken parts and replace them promptly to ensure continued optimal performance.

BENEFITS OF COMPOST:
- Cost efficient - Less material to haul (in most cases over 50% less than raw material)
- Better fertilizer - Compost feeds the soil and improves moisture retention. (Especially useful in sandy soils)
- Weed seed control - Composted material naturally breaks down unwanted weed seed and pathogens.
- Creates more worm activity - Composted material creates a more beneficial environment for worm propagation reducing soil compaction
- Easy to spread - With less moisture composted material is easier to spread and can be done year round.
- Less hauling restrictions - Composted material is a fertilizer with less restrictions compared to transporting a raw product.
- Increased soil productivity - Composted material encourages the slow release of nitrogen and lowers the carbon to nitrogen ratio making nitrogen more available to plants.
- Larger harvest - Compost creates more tons/bushels per acre compared to commercial fertilizers
If your in the market for a compost turner this machine is awesome we use it everyday and have for the last year I have over 500 hours on this machine and it's been flawless , the piles are comparable in size to the riding turners Ive seen as well would 100% recommend.
