Overview
HLA Attachments' 84-inch heavy duty dirt blade for skid steers is a commercial-grade dozer blade for large-frame machines working wide Canadian job sites. The extra 12 inches of blade width over the 72-inch model means fewer passes on farm laneways, construction access roads, and oilfield pads. Ontario-built to HLA's heavy duty standard. Available through HLA's Canadian dealer network.
Canada Availability
Available in Canada through HLA Attachments dealers. Ontario-manufactured by Horst Welding.

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
🔧 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 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
