John Deere Worksite Pro DB96 Dozer BladePremium
🟢 Standard Flow
View on brandt.ca →
Overview
A 96-inch hydraulic dozer blade in John Deere's Worksite Pro line. The DB96 is the widest Worksite Pro dozer option — 8 feet across — suited to larger-frame skid steers and CTLs handling significant grading work. Power angle and tilt adjust from the cab, and the standard reversible cutting edge handles everything from clay stripping to finish grade. At 1,625 lb, only 75 lb heavier than the DB84, it's a practical step up in coverage for machines that can handle the width. Available through Brandt.
Canada Availability

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
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
