Home / Blog / Best Skid Steer Dozer Blades in 2026: Buying Guide

Best overall for grading and dirt work: the Skid Pro Dozer Blade, a 6-way hydraulic blade in 84″ and 96″ widths with ±30° angle and 10° tilt. Best for finish grading and breaking hardpack: the Land Leveler with hydraulic scarifier teeth. Best for snow: the Snow Blade.

TL;DR

  • The Skid Pro Dozer Blade comes in 84″ and 96″ models: 26″ height, 30° angle, 10° tilt, listed max angle 75″ / 85″ and weights 1,448 / 1,520 lbs.
  • Skid Pro describes it as a 6-way blade (left/right, up/down, forward/backward) run by three 4″ × 8″ industrial cylinders.
  • Full function needs an electric toggle control or a machine-specific wire harness. The product page lists no GPM requirement.
  • The Land Leveler (78″ / 84″, 1,115 / 1,155 lbs) adds hydraulic scarifier teeth that dig 6″ deep, plus optional removable screens.
  • For snow, the Snow Blade runs 72–108″ with two angle cylinders. Confirm mount fit on common skid steer and track loader brands.

Dozer blade basics

84″ / 96″ — Dozer Blade widths

±30° / 10° — blade angle and tilt

1,448–1,520 lbs — Dozer Blade weights

Why this matters

A dozer blade is only as useful as its match to your machine. Blade width, attachment weight and the control hookup all have to work with your loader, or the blade underperforms from day one. Buying a blade type the catalog doesn’t carry, or one that won’t hook up to your controls, sends you back to the phone.

Skid Pro builds its grading attachments manufacturer-direct in Alexandria, Minnesota (founded 2011). This guide covers the live Skid Pro blades and grading tools with published spec tables.

What to verify

  • Width versus loader: 84″ or 96″ on the Dozer Blade
  • Weight versus machine capacity: 1,448–1,520 lbs before you push any material
  • Controls: an electric toggle control or machine-specific wire harness is needed for full function
  • Cutting edge: the Dozer Blade uses a 5/8″ × 6″ reversible edge
  • Mount compatibility: confirm the quick-attach plate on common skid steer and track loader brands

Skid Pro blades and grading tools at a glance

Attachment Best for Standout published specs What to watch
Dozer Blade 84″ Grading, backfill and site work on most loaders 84″; listed max angle 75″; 26″ height; 30° angle; 10° tilt; 1,448 lbs Needs electric toggle or wire harness for full function
Dozer Blade 96″ Larger machines and bigger grading jobs 96″; listed max angle 85″; 26″ height; 30° angle; 10° tilt; 1,520 lbs Heaviest option here, so check machine capacity
Land Leveler Finish grading, ripping hardpack, sifting 78/84″; 3/4″ × 6″ dual weld-on edges; 6″ scarifier depth; 1,115/1,155 lbs Not an angling blade
Snow Blade Snow removal and light material 72/84/96/108″; 62–98″ angled width; 33″ height; 2 angle cylinders; 846–1,100 lbs Built for snow, not heavy dozing

1. Skid Pro Dozer Blade: best overall skid steer dozer blade

The Skid Pro Dozer Blade is Skid Pro’s grading and dozing blade. Spec tables list models 84″ and 96″, listed max angle 75″ / 85″, weights 1,448 / 1,520 lbs, height 26″, angle 30° and tilt 10°.

Published features include an HD 5/16″ steel moldboard with a deep-curve design, a 5/8″ × 6″ reversible cutting edge, oversized 4″ × 11″ adjustable skid shoes, a 3″ hardened steel vertical pivot pin, a 2″ moldboard angle pivot, and three 4″ × 8″ industrial cylinders with 2″ hardened rods and 1″ greaseable pins. Skid Pro calls it the heaviest non-cast dozer blade in the industry and says there is no HP maximum.

Why it stands out:

  • 6-way movement for grading, shaping and backfill
  • Reinforced backing and gusseted moldboard
  • Electric-over-hydraulic valve hookup options for different skid loaders

Best for: road maintenance, construction site grading, landscaping and backfill.

What to watch: You need an electric toggle control or machine-specific wire harness for full function. The product page does not publish a GPM rating, so confirm hydraulics and electrical hookup with a Product Guru.

2. 84″ or 96″: best width for your machine

The Dozer Blade is one design in two widths:

  • 84″: listed max angle 75″, 1,448 lbs. The better fit when you want less weight on the lift arms.
  • 96″: listed max angle 85″, 1,520 lbs. More blade per pass on larger machines and bigger grading jobs.

Why it stands out:

  • Same 26″ height, 30° angle and 10° tilt on both widths
  • A real catalog choice, not an invented blade type

Best for: matching blade width to your machine and job size.

What to watch: Only 72 lbs separate the two published weights, so the bigger decision is machine width and site access.

3. Skid Pro Land Leveler: best for finish grading and hardpack

The Land Leveler handles grading jobs where a blade alone falls short. Spec tables list models 78″ and 84″, overall widths 80″ / 86″, overall depths 49.5″ / 51.5″, 3/4″ × 6″ weld-on edges and approximate weights 1,115 / 1,155 lbs.

Published features include front and back high-carbon ¾″ × 6″ cutting edges, fully hydraulic scarifier teeth (powered up and down) that dig 6″ deep to break hard ground, an optional bolt-in removable screen kit for sifting rock and debris, full-length gussets and a rigid frame.

Why it stands out:

  • Rips hardpack and levels in the same attachment
  • Hydraulic down-force on the scarifier keeps working even when mud builds up
  • The screen kit sifts rock out before the dirt goes back down

Best for: finish grading, driveways, pads and site prep.

What to watch: It is a leveler, not an angling dozer blade. For sidecasting and backfill, use the Dozer Blade.

4. Skid Pro Snow Blade: best for snow

For snow work, the Snow Blade is Skid Pro’s angling plow. Spec tables list widths 72″ / 84″ / 96″ / 108″, angled widths 62″ / 74″ / 86″ / 98″, operating weights 846 / 928 / 1,010 / 1,100 lbs, height 33″, 2 angle cylinders and a 5/8″ × 6″ reversible cutting edge.

Published features include a spring-trip moldboard, a locking moldboard for above-ground material moving, XL hardened skid shoes and an optional wing kit that turns it into a snow pusher.

Best for: driveways, lots and roads in snow season.

What to watch: Use the Dozer Blade for heavy dirt work. For more snow options, see our skid steer snow pushers guide.

How to choose

For grading, backfill and dirt pushing, buy the Dozer Blade in 84″ or 96″ and budget for the electric toggle or wire harness. For finish grading or ripping hardpack, add the Land Leveler. For snow, use the Snow Blade or a Skid Pro snow pusher.

The catalog has no separate straight dozer blade or ripper-shank combination blade. The Land Leveler’s hydraulic scarifier is the ripping option.
