DESIGNED & BUILT FOR increased efficiency & profit!

AT ABI, WE BUILD TOOLS WE WANT TO USE: Tools designed to make your work more efficient and effective.

Tools designed to be easy to maintain.

Tools that will last years and years.

TOOLS THAT WORK HARD, EVERY DAY.

INNOVATIVE TOOLS FOR CONTRACTORS

INNOVATION FROM THE START Kevin Keigley, ABI’s founding President, has de-cades of experience in the commercial contracting and landscaping industries. With 8 patents to his name and thousands of his tools sold, he is a pre-eminent inventor and innovator in the attachment market. He uses the tools he builds and builds the tools he’d want to use, giving him valuable insight into what innovations increase our customers’ prof-itability and efficiency.

The TR3’s & SR3’s PATENTED 3-IN-ONE DESIGN pairs scarifiers and a finish rake—both set at the optimum angle for controlled results—with an auto-leveling blade. Used together, the three ground contact points simultaneously loosen, level, and rake the ground to produce consistent results across a variety of applications and materials. The design of the TR3 inspired the development of the Command Series line of products for skid steer and tractor, as well as countless other innovations at ABI!

We know the value of tools that work hard and we know the value of tools that need little maintenance. That’s why we invent and build tools that use simple components and innovative configurations that get the most work done with little maintenance and without cumbersome, moving parts (that are more likely to break down). Expect less downtime (and more profitability!) with the Command Series by ABI Attachments®

Our experience in the ground prep industry has taught us that the resources of time and money are inextricably linked, and being able to efficiently finish a job and move on to the next is the difference between a profitable season and a loss. We’ve invented tools designed to eliminate time-consuming handwork and tools that capitalize on the strengths of your crew and your vehicles —skid steer or tractor!

1. THE BEST TOOLS SIMPLY WORK 2. TIME IS MONEY

THE FOUR COMMAND SERIES VIRTUES:

THE ABI COMMAND SERIES MAKES EVEN THE TOUGHEST WORK EASIER AND MORE PROFITABLE.

FROM DECADES OF EXPERIENCE in the ground prep industry, ABI knows which jobs are hardest to get done right, which jobs consume the most time, and which jobs our competitors avoid (because they can’t make a profit on them). We make tools that vastly improve efficiency on everyday jobs and accomplish hard jobs quicker, with fewer men, leading to greater profits and more jobs worth taking. We set out to re-imagine what the HARDEST-WORKING, LONGEST-LASTING, & MOST-EFFICIENT CONTRACTOR TOOLS should be able to do!


Our president, Kevin Keigley, built a business around figuring out how to profit on the jobs that were so tricky, time-consuming, large, or small that no one else would touch them. From the 3 point TR3® that allows users to prepare large grounds quicker (and more profitably) to the ABI Force® that mechanizes what would be a time consuming (and unprofitable) tight-space seeding job, ABI has a tool to help make any job a more profitable one!

Training new crew members can be a time-consuming, frustrating task, especially when time is of the essence and every job needs to be finished to your exacting standards. Our tools are engineered to be powerful enough for commercial work, but with features like stabilizing wheels, intuitive zero-turn controls, and floating auto-leveling blades that make training easy. We give you the peace of mind that every job can be done well the first time!

INVENTED TO DO EXACTLY WHAT CONTRACTORS & LANDSCAPERS NEED FOR RENOVATION AND SEEDBED PREPARATION!

WIN MORE BIDS AND PROFIT ON HARDER JOBS WITH THE SR3!

1. SAVE TIME: THE SR3 IS THREE TOOLS IN ONE!

With an easy-to-set depth control in the gauge and float wheels, any operator can quickly clear, grade, and finish the toughest of jobs. Sift out rocks, level, and loosen when pulling the SR3; push large amounts of material and feather loose soil up against an edge when pushing forward!

2. LESS DOWNTIME AND LESS HANDWORK:The ability of the SR3 to finish a job from overgrown land to a seed-ready finish drastically reduces time spent changing tools, unloading trailers, reconnecting hydraulics, and more. Its ability to tackle every job—from spreading large mounds of topsoil & removing debris to feathering against a tight edge—greatly reduces the need for other tools and handwork. Watch your profits soar: complete more jobs each day with fewer staff on site!

3. ANY CREW CAN TACKLE HARD WORK:Matchless in the landscape industry, the float & gauge wheels on the SR3 let any operator achieve quick, easy, and professional results. Furthermore, the low-profile design was engineered to provide maximum visibility of ground-engaging components (minimizing guess-work). Assign any crew with confidence!

PATENT PENDING

MANUFACTURED IN THE USA!

HYDRAULIC SCARIFIERS loosen the ground from 0-5" with on-the-fly hydraulic depth control. These cast teeth penetrate the hardest of conditions and bolt-on tips keep maintenance costs low.

LEVELING BLADE WITH HINGED ROCK TEETH, when pulled backward, floats to equalize high & low areas without damaging the ground, while rock teeth collect surface debris. It can also lock for aggressive grading. Pushed forward, the blade & teeth hinge up to eliminate resistance.

16'' FLOAT & GAUGE TIRES gauge working depth and allow the skid steer to work in the "float" position to keep the tool consistently engaged with the ground even when operating on rough terrain! Foam-filled for never-flat durability.

HEAVY-DUTY STEEL FINISH RAKE gives the SR3 both finesse and strength. Push forward to slice vegetation, clear debris, and spread top soil. Pull backward to pulverize dirt clods and leave an ideal seed- or sod-ready finish. Replaceable in 1' sections. ¾"-thick laser-cut hardened-steel.

INNOVATIVE 3-IN-ONE DESIGN Designed to operate at an angle, the SR3 is a wheel-supported attachment with 3 ground-engaging components that work together to create the ideal seedbed.

FEATURESI-BEAM DESIGN is fully-welded for the utmost strength and longevity. Our Command Series tools are designed to work under tough conditions all day, every day.


Unlike hydraulic power rakes, the SR3 tackles any job with minimal maintenance:

NO HYDRAULIC & ROTARY COMPONENTSThe SR3 has minimal moving parts, relying on simple controls and inspired design to work hard, every day. By utilizing gravity, leverage, and our patented components (rather than rotary tools), the SR3 spends more time in the field and less time getting repaired!

EXTREME-DUTY DESIGNThe SR3's design allows it to accomplish a full range of tasks no other single tool can do. From deep ripping to fine-finishing, from extreme undergrowth clearing to seed-bed prep, the SR3 has a foot up on the competition!

TOUGHER-THAN-TOUGH FRAMESome would say we overbuilt our Command Series attachments, but we wanted to build tools that could utilize every bit of power your skid steer offers. From clearing debris to breaking the driest hardpan, our attachments are built to be worked hard.

THE MASTER OF ELIMINATION The SR2 is a pro at clearing and prepping tight spaces, edging a building before seeding, and ripping up weeds and old turf around obstacles (like wells, sidewalks, landscape edges, and more)! Beyond that, the I-beam construction, thick hardened-steel finish rake, and cast scarifiers don’t pull any punches when it comes to tough roots, lifting out rocks, or clearing debris and overgrown land. When you give your operator so much capability in such a nimble, easy-to-use package, be prepared to see your on-site time plummet, allowing you to finish more jobs quicker and more effectively! The SR2’s smaller profile and economical price make it a sound investment for any contractor.

THERE’S NO SCARIFIER RAKE THAT’S MORE EFFECTIVE AT ELIMINATING HAND WORK THAN THE SR2!

FEATURES

OPTIONAL HYDRAULIC SCARIFYING TEETHLoosen the ground from 0-5" deep with on-the-fly hydraulic depth control. Cast teeth penetrate the hardest of conditions and worry-free bolt-on tips keep maintenance costs low. (Pictured above)

WELDED I-BEAM CONSTRUCTION Fully-welded for the utmost strength and longevity. Our Command Series tools are designed to work under tough conditions all day, every day.

THE SR2: INVENTED TO SAVE TIME & INCREASE PROFITSTHE FOAM-FILLED FLOAT & GAUGE WHEELS allow an even planing action when pushed, and controlled-depth scarifier penetration when pulled. Adjusting the scarifiers & tool pitch allows measured & controlled penetration that is easy to maintain even across rutted terrain. The gauge wheels make any competent operator an expert SR2 operator!

PATENT PENDING

THE LOW PROFILE DESIGN MEANS PERFECT VISIBILITY of every component during use, eliminating countless hours of handwork around a house, septic, sidewalks, curbs, and more. Operators can quickly, cleanly, and safely cut an edge alongside buildings in a fraction of the time. Because the operator can see all the way to the tip of the rake, he will have the confidence to know how close he can get to any obstacle. The closer he can safely get, the less handwork needs to be done later!

INNOVATIVE 3-IN-ONE DESIGNDesigned to operate at an angle, the TR3 is a wheel-supported 3-point tractor attachment with three ground-engaging components that work together to create the ideal seedbed.

HYDRAULIC SCARIFIERS loosen the ground from 0-5" with on-the-fly hydraulic depth control. These cast teeth penetrate the hardest of conditions and bolt-on tips keep maintenance costs low.

LEVELING BLADE WITH HINGED ROCK TEETHPulled forward, this blade floats to equalize high & low areas without damaging the ground contour, while rock teeth collect surface debris. It can also be locked down for aggressive grading. Pushed backward, the blade & teeth hinge up to eliminate resistance.

12" STABILIZING & GAUGE WHEELS & never-flat tires prevent the TR3 from undulating with the tractor, gauge the depth of scarifying, maintain level and consistent travel when grading, and eliminate gouging while pushing backward.

FULLY-WELDED I-BEAM CONSTRUCTIONEnsures the utmost strength and longevity. Our Command Series tools are engineered & field-tested to work under tough commercial conditions every day!

HEAVY-DUTY STEEL FINISH RAKE provides finesse and strength. Pull forward to pulverize clods and leave an ideal seed- or sod-ready finish. Push backward to slice vegeta-tion, clear debris, and spread top soil. Replaceable in 1' sec-tions. ¾"-thick laser-cut steel.

THE TR3®: DESIGNED TO HELP YOU WIN BIG ON BIG JOBS TOUGH BITE & FINISHING FINESSE There’s no quicker way to finish grade and prep a large seedbed than with a tractor. We invented the patented TR3® to be the ultimate multi-purpose tractor tool. On large sites,where heavy equipment has been constantly compacting the soil, the only way to create a healthy seedbed is to de-compact deep enough for a robust root system. The TR3® Command Series attachment with hydraulic scarifiers penetrates 5 inches or more to remove compaction quickly. It reduces the labor and time needed for seeding jobs, all while creating perfect seedbeds for healthy, hardy growth!

INSPIRED DESIGN FOR ULTIMATE EFFICIENCYThe TR3® was designed to sit at an angle so all ground contact points work simultaneously: loosen, level, and rake on every pass! Foam-filled stabilizing wheels work in tandem with the 3-point hitch to keep the tool level, making it easy to operate & achieve professional results!
