HLA 72-Inch Snow Blade for Skid Steers

Overview

HLA Attachments' 72-inch angle snow blade is the entry-level commercial snow blade in their skid steer lineup — suited to mid-frame machines clearing driveways, farm yards, and small commercial lots. Ontario-manufactured by Horst Welding with AR400 skid bars and a reversible cutting edge standard. The angle-blade format makes it more versatile than a straight pusher on driveways and lanes where snow needs to be moved to the side.

Canada Availability

Is This Right For You?

Buy if

  • You clear flat open lots, loading docks, or laneways and want the lowest-cost blade option
  • Your site has a natural drop zone and you push in one direction — no angling needed
  • You're adding snow clearing to a machine you already own without a big attachment investment

Skip if

  • You need to cast snow to one side or work curbed areas — an angle blade handles that better
  • You clear large commercial lots — a box pusher moves more snow per pass

Also consider

  • Angle/trip-edge snow blade for road clearing with directional control
  • Box snow pusher for large commercial parking lots
Machine Compatibility

Compatible with all skid steer brands via universal SSQA quick attach. No auxiliary hydraulics required — operates off the loader arms.

Care & Maintenance

  • Grease all cylinder pin fittings and pivot points before each snow season — cold temperature makes inadequately lubricated joints seize
  • Inspect the cutting edge for wear and replace before it's worn through to the blade frame — a thinned edge transfers frost heave impacts directly to the frame and coupler
  • Rinse salt off the blade after every use and before any storage period longer than a week — salt attack on bare steel is measurably faster than most operators expect
  • Inspect hydraulic angle cylinder hoses before each season and replace any cracked or weathered hoses — cold-hardened hoses split at the worst moment
  • Store in a dry location with the cutting edge off wet ground — standing water under a stored blade rusts the edge from below and weakens it before the next season

How to Connect

  1. Attach blade frame using Bob-Tach
  2. Connect hydraulic tilt circuit if equipped (many are fixed or manual angle)
  3. Check trip edge spring tension before working — critical for road/pavement use
Safety NoteTrip edge is a safety feature — it releases on hidden obstacles. Replace worn trip edge springs annually.
