Skid Steer Cold Planers

Blue Diamond Attachments offer key differentiators that add performance and value to cold planner attachments

• Blue Diamond cold planers have a patented self-leveling system to provide constant milling depth regardless of ground contour or machine position.
• Every Blue Diamond cold planer is engineered with design elements that enhance performance and precision.
• Blue Diamond backs its cold planers with live support and in-stock parts.
• Each Blue Diamond cold planer is built with premium components to withstand challenging applications.

Blue Diamond Extreme Duty Cold Planer attachments are backed with the Blue Diamond Satisfaction Guarantee, and carry a 1-year warranty.

Selecting cold planers for skid steers
The auxiliary circuit on the skid steer guides cold planer selection. To ensure consistency in the depth of passes with the machine, it’s important to keep a steady pressure (PSI) and hydraulic flow. Understanding the controls on the machine is also important, whether it’s foot pedals, a multi-function joystick, rocker switch or toggle switch.

Knowing the scope of work and the intensity of use will also impact cold planer selection, as a small pothole repair with older asphalt won't require as wide of an attachment as a larger job for stripping and repaving an interstate.

Weight, speed and milling width/depth
Blue Diamond cold planers range in weight from 1,350 pounds to 2,660 pounds to match the operating capacity of most skid steers and compact track loaders.

Blue Diamond’s comprehensive Cold Planer line includes models ranging from 14 inches to 48 inches in milling width and offers milling depths from 4.3 inches to 6.7 inches, depending on model. Expected working speeds are up to 16.4 feet per minute.

Hydraulic flow
The Extreme Duty Cold Planers are available in two low flow models with a flow rate of 12 to 30 GPM and six high flow models with a range from 27 to 50 GPM, making them compatible with most low and high flow skid steer and compact track loaders. The maximum pressure for low flow models is 3,625 PSI, while high flow models have a maximum of 4,500 PSI.

Performance categories
Blue Diamond offers its cold planers in eight models low and high flow with varying widths and cutting depths:

• 14” Extreme Duty Series 2, low flow with 4.3” cutting depth
• 16” Extreme Duty Series 2, low flow with 5.9” cutting depth
• 18” Extreme Duty Series 2, high flow with 6.7” cutting depth
• 20” Extreme Duty Series 2, high flow with 6.7” cutting depth
• 24” Extreme Duty Series 2, high flow with 6.7” cutting depth
• 30” Extreme Duty Series 2, high flow with 6.7” cutting depth
• 40” Extreme Duty Series 2, high flow with 5” cutting depth
• 48” Extreme Duty Series 2, high flow with 5” cutting depth

Built-in features
Blue Diamond Cold Planers offer independent right and left depth adjustment capability, available in both mechanical and hydraulic configurations, to enable precise surface matching and perfect side-by-side passes. The side slides of the cold planer automatically align themselves to the milling surface on which they rest, providing maximum stability.

A standard hydraulic side shift functionality allows flush milling against walls and other obstacles. The Blue Diamond cold planers have as robust construction and direct-drive hydraulic motors ensure reliable performance, while minimizing maintenance requirements

All models have an optional dust suppression spray system and clear depth indicators for precise control and feature an 8-degree tilt.

The line's robust construction and direct-drive hydraulic motors ensure reliable performance, while also minimizing maintenance requirements.
