🟢 Standard Flow
✓ Runs on standard auxiliary flow
View on deere.com →
Overview
A 72-inch hydraulic dozer blade in John Deere's Worksite Pro line. The DB72 is a straight blade — it grades and pushes material without angling. For Canadian oilfield site prep, road building, and frost-heave repair work where you need to push material in a straight line without the bulk or complexity of a 4-way blade. Hydraulic float mode lets the blade follow contours rather than bridging. Available through Brandt.
Canada Availability
Available in Canada through Brandt / John Deere Worksite Pro. Common on oilpatch and road-building sites in Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Is This Right For You?
✅ Buy if…
- You need to angle the blade left/right for ditch work, pushback, or casting in a specific direction
- Your site work involves both straight pushing and angled clearing
⛔ Skip if…
- You only push in one direction — a straight blade is lighter, simpler, and cheaper
- Precision finish grading matters — a land plane or box blade gives a better finished surface
🔍 Also consider…
- 6-way blade for hydraulic tilt control in addition to angle
- Box blade if the goal is levelling a surface rather than pushing material
🔧 Machine Compatibility
Designed for John Deere machines but mounts to any skid steer or CTL with a universal SSQA quick-attach plate.

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
