HLA Attachments DB96-BO500 96-Inch Dirt Blade with Hydraulic Power Tilt is a heavy-duty grading blade designed for skid steers and suitably equipped front-end loaders. Its 96-inch working width, hydraulically controlled left/right angle, and hydraulic power tilt provide precise blade positioning for grading and side-leveling work. The BO500 mounting configuration uses a universal skid-steer quick-attach connection, while two hydraulic angle cylinders and an included electric selector valve allow the operator to control both blade angle and tilt. A 24-inch-high mouldboard, reversible cutting edge, and bolt-on skid shoes complete this robust grading attachment.
The DB96 blade can be hydraulically angled up to 35 degrees to the left or right. This adjustment allows the operator to change the direction of the blade without manually repositioning the attachment. Two hydraulic angle cylinders provide the blade-angle control.
For side leveling and more accurate grading, the blade also provides 5 degrees of hydraulic power tilt or oscillation in either direction. The included electric selector valve enables control of the hydraulic angle and power-tilt functions. Hydraulic flow and pressure requirements are not published, so the carrier’s hydraulic suitability should be confirmed before installation.
Built for demanding dirt and grading applications, the blade combines a substantial 96-inch width with a 24-inch-high mouldboard. Its reversible cutting edge can be turned to extend usable service life, while the bolt-on skid shoes help support the blade during operation and can be removed or replaced as required.
The complete blade has an approximate weight of 1,220 lb. Carrier lift capacity, operating capacity, hydraulic connections, and overall machine stability should be considered when matching the attachment to a skid steer or front-end loader.
The BO500 variant is fitted with a universal skid-steer quick-attach mount. It is compatible with:
Always verify that the carrier has the appropriate quick-attach interface, hydraulic connections, lift capacity, and operating capacity for the blade’s approximate 1,220 lb weight.
Both blade angling and power tilt are hydraulically operated, with an electric selector valve supplied as standard. Published hydraulic flow and pressure requirements are not available. Hydraulic hoses are optional rather than listed as included with the blade.
