Titan Attachments 84 Inch Box Grader
This 84-inch skid steer grader features a triple-blade cutting edge and a universal SSQA connection, enabling quick mounting on compatible skid steers. It’s designed for land leveling, road grading, and material spreading at landscaping, construction, and agricultural sites. The triple-blade edge helps push and pull dense materials while mixing soil for uniform results. Best for large properties or commercial projects where a wide working width speeds grading. Caution: approach curbs and obstacles carefully to avoid blade damage, especially on rocky ground.
Titan Attachments 72 Inch Skid Steer Grader
The 72-inch version provides a compact option with the same universal SSQA compatibility and triple-blade cutting edge as the 84″ model. It’s better for projects with tighter spaces or when a narrower grader is needed to navigate around existing features. It supports land leveling, road grading, and backfilling, delivering consistent soil mixing via the dual forward blades and rear blade. Best for medium-scale sites; avoid this size for very wide, open-area grading where the 84″ model excels.
FORGLO 72″ Skid Steer Land Leveler
FORGLO combines grading with a hydraulic scarifier in a 2-in-1 design, offering depth-adjustable ripping teeth for breaking through compacted soil. Six ripper teeth dig up to 6.1 inches, enabling rock removal and soil conditioning before leveling. It fits Bobcat and most skid steers with 10-22 MPa hydraulic systems and provides quick-hitch mounting for fast setup. Choose this if you frequently need both grading and rock/pavement-breaking capability; caution: hydraulic components require proper maintenance and compatible hydraulic flow.
MIVA 72″ Skid Steer Land Leveler
The MIVA 72″ model mirrors FORGLO’s dual-use approach with hydraulic depth control and six ripper teeth capable of digging up to 6.1 inches. It’s designed for land leveling, digging, ripping, and debris removal on farms, ranches, and construction sites. Best for projects requiring a balance of grading and soil loosening without swapping tools. Limitation: ensure your machine’s hydraulic system matches the attachment’s requirements for optimal operation.
Titan Attachments Mini Skid Steer Land Leveler
This compact Titan attachments unit is designed for Toro Dingo-style mini skid steers. It provides versatile leveling and grading in tight spaces, ideal for driveways, landscaping, and small-scale construction. Best for operators needing a lightweight, easier-to-maneuver option in confined areas. Not compatible with certain larger brands like Bobcat or Kanga Kid, so verify mounting compatibility before purchase.
GIYI Land Leveler 48″/1220mm
The GIYI 48″ land leveler focuses on universal compatibility and wide-area efficiency. It’s suitable for parking lots, sports fields, and farmland preparation, offering quick setup with no special tools required. Best for projects needing a compact, flexible plate that still delivers solid grading, especially in smaller work zones. Limitation: narrower width means more passes to cover large areas, which can affect total project time for big lots.
Buying Guide
What should you consider when choosing a skid steer box grader?
Working width matters: wider attachments cover more ground per pass but require more power and clearance. Universal SSQA compatibility ensures broad machine compatibility and easier mounting. Look for a triple-blade cutting edge for dense materials and a design that blends pushing and pulling action with soil mixing for uniform results. Depth control or hydraulic ripping teeth adds versatility for compacted soils or rocky ground.
What’s the best option for large-scale projects?
The 84″ and 72″ Titan Attachments graders are strong all-around choices for large sites. The 84″ model excels in open spaces like road grading and large lots, while the 72″ model offers maneuverability in tighter areas. If you need a two-in-one tool, consider FORGLO or MIVA models with hydraulic scarifiers to both grade and break hard ground without swapping attachments.
What about compact spaces or specialized use?
Mini skid steer products, such as the Titan Mini Leveler, fit tight spaces where a full-size attachment would be unwieldy. The GIYI 48″ leveler is also suitable for smaller projects, offering universal compatibility and practical efficiency for driveways and small lots. Be sure your machine’s hydraulic system supports the attachment’s requirements.
How do I ensure proper installation and use?
Check mounting compatibility (SSQA or other quick-attach standards) and confirm hydraulic flow specifications. For 2-in-1 tools, understand the dual functions and ensure you have enough working space to operate the scarifier teeth safely. Regularly inspect the cutting edge and moving parts for wear and damage after heavy grading days.
Maintenance and safety tips
- Inspect the cutting edge and replace worn blades to maintain uniform soil mixing.
- Lubricate moving parts as recommended by the manufacturer to prevent rust and seizing.
- Operate at appropriate speeds to avoid throwing debris and to reduce edge wear on hard surfaces.
FAQ
- Q: Which grader width should I choose for a long driveway? A: A wider option like 72″ or 84″ provides faster coverage, but ensure your loader has enough power and clearance.
- Q: Are these attachments compatible with all skid steers? A: Most use SSQA or similar quick-attach systems; verify your machine’s mounting type and hydraulic compatibility.
- Q: Do these units level soil and also break up hard ground? A: Several models combine grading with hydraulic ripping teeth for compacted soil and rocks.
- Q: Is a 2-in-1 grader and scarifier worth it? A: Yes, for projects requiring both leveling and breaking through tough soil without changing attachments.
- Q: What maintenance is essential? A: Regular edge checks, blade replacements when worn, and lubrication of moving parts.
- Q: Can I use these on dirt roads and lawns alike? A: Yes, most are designed for soil leveling and surface grading across various terrain.
