Is This Right For You?
✅ Buy if…
- You need hydraulic angle and tilt for full-control grading, ditch work, or road shaping
- You're a contractor doing regular heavy earthwork where blade control speed pays off
⛔ Skip if…
- Basic site clearing is all you need — the hydraulic tilt circuit adds cost and complexity you won't use
- Your machine doesn't have a third hydraulic circuit — 6-way blades need it
🔍 Also consider…
- 4-way blade if tilt control isn't essential for your work
- Motor grader attachment for high-precision grading work
🔧 Machine Compatibility
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
⚠ Safety NoteSome dozer blades have hydraulic float position — engage float for finish grading
