Overview
HLA Attachments' 72-inch angle snow blade is the entry-level commercial snow blade in their skid steer lineup — suited to mid-frame machines clearing driveways, farm yards, and small commercial lots. Ontario-manufactured by Horst Welding with AR400 skid bars and a reversible cutting edge standard. The angle-blade format makes it more versatile than a straight pusher on driveways and lanes where snow needs to be moved to the side.
Canada Availability

Is This Right For You?
✅ Buy if…
- You clear flat open lots, loading docks, or laneways and want the lowest-cost blade option
- Your site has a natural drop zone and you push in one direction — no angling needed
- You're adding snow clearing to a machine you already own without a big attachment investment
⛔ Skip if…
- You need to cast snow to one side or work curbed areas — an angle blade handles that better
- You clear large commercial lots — a box pusher moves more snow per pass
🔍 Also consider…
- Angle/trip-edge snow blade for road clearing with directional control
- Box snow pusher for large commercial parking lots
🔧 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 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
- Attach blade frame using Bob-Tach
- Connect hydraulic tilt circuit if equipped (many are fixed or manual angle)
- 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.
