Blue Diamond Rolls Out Full Line of Snow Removal Attachments for Compact Machines
Winter weather demands versatile equipment to keep jobsites safe and operational, and Blue Diamond Attachments is delivering just that. The Knoxville-based manufacturer recently unveiled its full line of snow removal attachments, including an all-new Heavy Duty Snow Blower, which we teased back in September. Designed for skid steers, compact track loaders (CTLs) and compact tractors, this lineup is built to handle everything from light dustings to the heaviest snowfalls. With a history of innovation and reliability, Blue Diamond continues to offer contractors and municipalities high-performance tools that maximize machine utility year-round.
Blue Diamond’s Snow Removal Lineup: Built to Handle All Winter Throws
Blue Diamond’s snow attachments range from blades and plows to pushers and blowers, offering nine models to match different snow-clearing needs:
- Autowing Snowplow Blade: Features mechanical wings that automatically adjust from scoop mode to windrow position.
- Heavy-Duty Multipurpose Blade: A versatile blade for multiple applications.
- Six-Way Dozer Blade: Offers six angles of adjustment for precision snow clearing.
- Snowplow V Blade: Ideal for tight spaces, adjusting to different plow configurations.
- Extreme Duty Snow Blower: Equipped with a high-pressure bypass system that eliminates the need for shear pins.
- Heavy Duty Snow Blower: The newest addition, featuring a five-blade fan for quick snow evacuation.
- Heavy-Duty Snow Pusher: Designed with a rolled moldboard to reduce horsepower needs.
- Standard Duty Multipurpose Blade: A cost-effective solution for light snow removal.

Each attachment comes with Blue Diamond’s signature Satisfaction Guarantee and a one-year warranty. These attachments are compatible with most original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), making them a practical choice for contractors looking to upgrade their snow removal fleet. From the press release:
“Our line of snow removal attachments offers landscapers, contractors and municipalities the exact attachment they need, no matter the type of snow on the ground,” said Drew Truan, chief operating officer at Blue Diamond Attachments. “Like all of our attachments the snow removal line is compatible with most OEM machines and all are supported by Blue Diamond and our extensive dealer network.”
Not Just Snow: New Blue Diamond Attachments Worth Noting
While Blue Diamond is making waves with its snow removal attachments, the company has also recently expanded its offerings to include land graders and rubber tracks.
The New Land Grader
Designed for skid steers and track loaders, the Blue Diamond land grader is a precision tool for leveling surfaces. It features front and rear cutting edges that allow operators to push or pull material for accurate placement. Key features include:
- Adjustable side edges for versatile grading.
- Rear-positioned wheels for improved maneuverability.
- Optional 3D laser receiver for increased accuracy.
Rubber Tracks for Compact Equipment
Blue Diamond’s rubber tracks are available in four patterns — Block, C-Lug, Multi-Bar and Zig-Zag — to suit various terrains. These tracks are made with abrasion-resistant rubber and reinforced steel cores, ensuring durability and operator comfort.
Tips for Choosing the Right Snow Removal Attachments for Compact Machines
When equipping your skid steer, CTL or compact tractor for snow removal, consider the following:
- Match the Attachment to the Job
Choose the right tool based on your typical snow-clearing tasks. For example, V-blades are great for narrow spaces, while snow pushers are ideal for large areas like parking lots. - Consider the Host Machine’s Power
Ensure the attachment is compatible with your machine’s horsepower and auxiliary hydraulic capabilities. A heavy-duty attachment on a low-power machine can lead to inefficiency or damage. - Look for Adjustable Features
Attachments with adjustable skid shoes and replaceable cutting edges extend tool life and protect surfaces from damage. - Evaluate Durability
Winter conditions are tough. Choose attachments made from high-tensile steel or high-caliber polyethylene with durable finishes to withstand the elements. - Think Beyond Plowing
Don’t forget about accessories like salt spreaders and cab enclosures for added productivity and operator comfort.
