John Deere BL9B snow blade attachment on skid steer

Overview

At 9 feet, the BL9B is built for high-volume commercial snow removal on large lots, loading docks, and industrial pads where clearing speed matters more than fitting into tight lanes. Hydraulic angle pushes snow continuously into windrows along lot edges without restarting a pass. The trip-edge absorbs obstacles — frozen ruts, expansion joints, low curbs — and springs back, keeping the blade in contact with pavement. Best matched to large-frame skid steers with the hydraulic flow and lift capacity to handle a full-width blade at pace.

Is This Right For You?

Buy if

  • You clear laneways, farm roads, or municipal paths where you need to cast snow to one side
  • Your site has curbs or obstacles — trip-edge protection prevents costly blade and pin damage
  • You want hydraulic angle adjustment from the cab without stopping to reposition

Skip if

  • You're clearing open lots — a box pusher or straight blade is more efficient for pure containment
  • Budget is tight and your site is obstacle-free — a straight blade costs less and works fine

Also consider

  • Straight snow blade if your sites are flat and obstacle-free
  • Box snow pusher for high-volume commercial lot clearing
Machine Compatibility

Compatible with compact track loaders and large-frame skid steers (S750+ class). Verify your machine's rated operating capacity (ROC) before ordering.

About John Deere in Canada

John Deere attachments are available through an extensive Canadian dealer network, ensuring local service, parts availability, and warranty support coast to coast. Designed to pair with JD machines but compatible with any skid steer via universal quick attach.

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.
