Bobcat 78-Inch Dozer Blade for Skid Steers
Overview
The Bobcat 78-inch dozer blade is an OEM attachment for Bobcat skid steers — designed for backfill, rough grading, land clearing, and site preparation. As an OEM product, it integrates with the Bobcat mounting system without adaptation. The 78-inch width is a useful intermediate size for Canadian operators running mid-to-large Bobcat machines on farm and construction sites. Available through Bobcat Canada's 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
Designed for Bobcat machines but mounts to any skid steer or CTL with a universal SSQA quick-attach plate.

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
