Turning Dirt and Snow Into Easy Work with the TMG-DB86 Dozer Blade
Whether you are clearing heavy winter snowfalls or grading rough terrain in the summer heat, the TMG-DB86 Skid Steer Dozer Blade/Snow Pusher delivers uncompromising, multi-season utility. Designed for commercial contractors and acreage owners alike, this attachment transforms your skid steer into a high-capacity earthmoving powerhouse.
Built to tackle demanding job sites, the TMG-DB86 combines robust structural steel with precise hydraulic control. Key engineering highlights include:
86-Inch Working Width: Maximizes coverage for efficient grading, land clearing, and material pushing across large footprints.
30° Hydraulic Angling: Powered by a robust 2600 PSI cylinder, allowing you to seamlessly direct material left or right on the fly.
Industrial Trip Springs: Dual heavy-duty springs absorb high-impact shocks when striking hidden roots, rocks, or frozen curbs.
Seasonal Transition Best Practices
Adapting your setup for different seasons ensures optimal results and equipment longevity:
Summer Earthmoving: Position the blade flat or at a slight angle for efficient backfilling, trenching, and gravel road leveling. Keep skid shoes set low to avoid digging into unpaved sub-bases.
Winter Snow Management: Angle the blade 30° to windrow snow cleanly away from buildings, paths, and driveways into manageable storage piles.
Maintenance and Wear Component Inspection
A proactive maintenance routine prevents costly downtime on active job sites:
Grease Pivot Points: Regularly lubricate all hydraulic cylinder pins and pivot joints to reduce friction and premature wear under heavy loads.
Inspect Fasteners: Check the torque on all mounting bolts and the 1/2" replaceable steel cutting edge weekly to prevent vibration loosening during aggressive dozing.
Expert-Level Operator Tips
To extract maximum performance from your TMG attachment, keep these professional practices in mind:
Calibrate Your Skid Shoes: Raise the adjustable skid shoes slightly when grading loose gravel drives to prevent scooping aggregate, and lower them flat for smooth asphalt snow clearing.
Verify Hydraulic Match: Ensure your loader meets or exceeds the minimum 30 HP requirement to maintain steady 2600 PSI pressure and prevent sluggish pivot response.
Protect the Moldboard: Routinely check the bolt-on cutting edge. Swapping it out before it wears down to the backing plate safeguards your primary blade structure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the TMG-DB86 fit all skid steer loaders?
A: Yes, it features a universal quick mount engineered to fit the vast majority of standard skid steer makes and models, as long as your machine outputs at least 30 HP.
Q: Are hydraulic quick couplers included with purchase?
A: Hydraulic hoses are included in the package, but quick couplers are sold separately so you can match them precisely to your machine's specific auxiliary fittings.
