📘 Overview
The Star Industries Heavy Duty Bolt-On Blades (BOB series) replace welded cutting edges on skid steer buckets with a reversible 5/8" × 8" bolt-on system that delivers 3× the wear life of standard 1/2" × 6" welded edges. Available in 60" through 84" widths. When one side wears, flip the blade to use the unworn side — no welding required. 5-year factory guarantee. USA since 1981.
⚙️ Key Features
- BOB60 (60") | BOB66 (66") | BOB72 (72") | BOB78 (78") | BOB84 (84")
- 5/8" × 8" reversible bolt-on blade
- 3× wear life vs standard 1/2" × 6" welded edge
- No welding required — bolt on and bolt off
- 5-year factory guarantee | USA since 1981
🔑 Benefits
- 3× wear life vs welded edge significantly extends service interval — standard 1/2" × 6" welded cutting edges wear through in high-abrasion applications requiring expensive rewelding. The 5/8" × 8" bolt-on blade is 25% thicker and 33% taller for dramatically longer service life.
- Reversible design doubles usable life before blade replacement — when the leading edge wears, unbolt, flip, and rebolt. This doubles total blade life vs a non-reversible system.
- No welder or welding gas required for replacement — in the field, a standard socket set replaces the worn blade in minutes.
- Blade can be replaced without removing the bucket from the machine

🔗 Attachment Compatibility
SSQA buckets with punched cutting edges. Confirm bucket width and punch hole pattern match the BOB blade before ordering. Width must match exactly — a 72" blade cannot be trimmed for a 66" bucket.
🚜 Machine Compatibility
Compatible with skid steer loaders and compact track loaders with a Universal Quick Attach (SSQA) system:
| Bobcat | Caterpillar | John Deere | Case |
| New Holland | Takeuchi | Kubota | Gehl |
Compatibility determined by mount type — confirm your machine's quick attach configuration before ordering.
❓ FAQs
|
Q: How do I know if my bucket is punched for bolt-on blades?
Look at the existing cutting edge — if there are pre-drilled holes along the face of the cutting edge, your bucket is punched for bolt-on blades. Star Industries HD buckets have punched cutting edges standard. Contact Star Industries 1-800-541-1797 if unsure. |
|
Q: Can I reverse the blade when worn?
Yes — the BOB blade is designed to be removed, flipped 180°, and reinstalled to present the unworn back edge as the new cutting surface. This doubles the blade life before replacement is needed. |
|
Q: How much harder is 5/8" vs 1/2"?
The 5/8" blade is 25% thicker than a standard 1/2" welded edge. Combined with the 8" height (vs 6" standard), the total wear material volume is approximately 67% greater per foot of blade length — this translates to significantly longer service life in abrasive material. |
|
Q: Do I need to remove the bucket to replace the blade?
Generally no — the blade can be replaced with the bucket attached to the machine. Lower the bucket to the ground, unload any material, and use a socket wrench to swap the blade. Contact Star Industries for the exact bolt configuration on your specific bucket model. |
|
Q: What is the bolt pattern?
Bolt pattern varies by bucket width and model. Contact Star Industries 1-800-541-1797 for the specific bolt hole pattern for your Star Industries bucket to confirm the BOB blade series matches. |
