Blue Diamond 96-Inch Dozer Blade for Skid Steers
Overview
Blue Diamond's 96-inch (8-foot) dozer blade is a wide-format straight blade for full-size skid steers on road building, large site grading, and bulk material spreading. The 8-foot width pushes more material per pass than narrower blades on open terrain. Blue Diamond's heavy steel construction and replaceable cutting edge are designed for sustained commercial use. Available through Blue Diamond's Canadian dealer network.

Is This Right For You?
Buy if
- You push material forward in a straight line: stockpile cleanup, rough site clearing, or road building
- You need basic grading on unpaved surfaces and already own or operate a skid steer
Skip if
- Angle control or cast direction matters — a 4-way or 6-way blade is worth the upgrade for that work
- Finish grading is your goal — a box blade or land plane gives you far more control of the final surface
Also consider
- 4-way or 6-way dozer blade if you need angle control
- Box blade or land plane if finish grading is the primary task
Wide attachment — verify your machine's rated operating capacity (ROC) before ordering. Compatible with all skid steer brands via universal SSQA quick attach — no auxiliary hydraulics required.

Care & Maintenance
- Grease all hydraulic cylinder pin fittings before every use session — dry pins accelerate wear in the cylinder bores and cause premature side-loading
- Inspect the cutting edge for wear or deformation after hard use — replace bolt-on edges when worn to avoid transferring impact to the blade frame
- Check hydraulic coupler connections for leaks weekly — dozer blade circuits cycle frequently and coupler seals wear faster than on less-cycled attachments
- Inspect tilt and angle cylinder rod seals for leaks after use in abrasive or sandy soil — grit scoring a rod seal causes accelerating internal leakage
- Clean the blade face and frame before storage — mud pockets hold moisture against bare steel and cause rust pitting during off-season storage
How to Connect
- Attach blade frame to Bob-Tach
- If 6-way blade: connect tilt and angle hydraulic circuits (both sides)
- Test all blade movements (up/down, tilt left/right, angle) before working
