Your blade is pretty "abrupt" at the lower edge IMHO. [Reply]  [No Email]

I actually built this one using the radius from an old piece of a IH Cub front blade. Its main purpose is to push brush piles but I have used one I built previously that was very similar and it cuts into the dirt quite well. [Reply]  [No Email]

I built it so it is reversible and I can angle one side out to turn the dirt. [Reply]  [No Email]
