Blue Diamond Rounds Out Roadwork Line With Extreme Duty Skid Steer Road Saws

Blue Diamond Attachments has launched its Extreme Duty Road Saws, completing a roadwork attachment family that already includes a line of 12 hydraulic breakers and an Extreme Duty Series 2 Cold Planer. For operators who run skid steers on road repair work, the family now covers the full cutting cycle: saw, mill and break.

The road saws come in two models. The smaller cuts to depths of 6 to 17 inches, while the larger reaches 8 to 24 inches, enough for deep utility trenches in asphalt, concrete and rock. Both are built for skid steers of up to 65 hp and run at a recommended hydraulic flow of 21 to 42 gpm.

Three features stand out for daily roadwork. A hydraulic side shift of 0 to 18 inches lets the operator move the blade left or right from the cab to cut close to curbs and walls. A trench clearing scraper blade works with a material flow diverter to push cuttings out of the trench, so crews no longer need to dig spoil out by hand. A depth gauge keeps cuts uniform along the line, and a hydraulic depth adjustment raises and lowers the blade for consistent results.

The saw discs take interchangeable tooth plate kits in cutting widths from 2 to 8 inches. Those tooth plates are the recurring consumable on this attachment: they wear fastest in abrasive asphalt and hard rock, and replacement kits should be priced into the cost of ownership before the saw is bought. The Universal Skid Steer Mount means one saw can move between skid steer brands, which matters for rental fleets and contractors running mixed machines.

"The Extreme Duty Road Saws provide our customers with cleaner, faster and more accurate cuts than traditional methods, along with the flexibility and performance they can rely on for their tough trenching jobs," said Drew Truan, chief executive officer at Blue Diamond Attachments.

All roadwork attachments in the family carry the company's Satisfaction Guarantee and a one-year warranty.

For buyers of used skid steers, the practical checklist stays the same: confirm engine horsepower against the 65 hp ceiling, verify auxiliary hydraulic flow falls inside the 21-42 gpm window, and make sure the quick-attach matches the universal mount before ordering any roadwork attachment.
