HLA 96-Inch Skid Steer Land Plane
Overview
HLA Attachments' 96-inch land plane is their widest skid steer grading model, suited for long driveway sections, rural road maintenance, and large site grading projects where maximum width reduces passes. The floating blade design self-levels across grade undulations for a consistent finish. Manufactured in Ontario, Canada, and available through HLA's Western Canada dealer network. Well-suited for operators doing regular gravel road maintenance on larger rural properties.

Is This Right For You?
Buy if
- You maintain gravel driveways, rural roads, acreage laneways, or field access roads with a skid steer
- Float mode is available on your machine — landplanes need to float to follow the contour of the ground
Skip if
- Your surface is hardpan or frozen — a land plane rides on top of hard surfaces and doesn't cut into them
- You need to move large volumes of material — a land plane redistributes existing material, it doesn't load and dump
Also consider
- Box blade for primary grading before final land plane pass
- Dozer blade if you need to push material rather than float and level
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
- Inspect the floating blade for wear — sharp edges level properly; a worn-smooth edge scrapes without cutting and leaves a rough surface
- Lubricate blade hinge and float mechanism pivot pins each season — seized float pivots defeat the purpose of the attachment
- Check scarifier shanks for tooth wear or breakage before each use — a missing shank puts lateral load on adjacent shanks and the boom
- After use in mud or clay, clean accumulated material from the blade housing — dried clay adds uneven weight and prevents proper floating
- Inspect blade-mounting welds for cracking at season start — the float mechanism amplifies vertical stress on the mounting hardware over time
How to Connect
- Attach frame using Bob-Tach
- Connect hydraulic tilt circuit if equipped (some are passive/manual)
- Set cutting angle before working (typically 0-5° for finish grade)
