🟢 Standard Flow
✓ Runs on standard auxiliary flow
✓ Fits most skid steers, including small-frame
View on brandt.ca →
Overview
The BL8B is the most popular size in the Worksite Pro blade lineup — wide enough for efficient commercial work, narrow enough to fit standard parking stalls and drive lanes. It hydraulically angles left or right to windrow snow into rows at the lot perimeter, eliminating constant back-and-forth repositioning. The trip-edge bottom pivots over frost heaves and concrete edges and resets automatically, so operators can push fast without worrying about obstacles hiding under the snow. A solid choice for parking lot contractors running mid-to-large frame skid steers.

Is This Right For You?
✅ Buy if…
- You clear laneways, farm roads, or municipal paths where you need to cast snow to one side
- Your site has curbs or obstacles — trip-edge protection prevents costly blade and pin damage
- You want hydraulic angle adjustment from the cab without stopping to reposition
⛔ Skip if…
- You're clearing open lots — a box pusher or straight blade is more efficient for pure containment
- Budget is tight and your site is obstacle-free — a straight blade costs less and works fine
🔍 Also consider…
- Straight snow blade if your sites are flat and obstacle-free
- Box snow pusher for high-volume commercial lot clearing
🔧 Machine Compatibility
Compatible with compact track loaders and large-frame skid steers (S750+ class). Verify your machine's rated operating capacity (ROC) before ordering.

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.
