I used to operate a pull blade as we called it for the State of Mn Road crew with a little modification. In addition to the blade that you see, we also had a second smaller blade behind the seat.

It made for one hell of a solid driveway after the concrete was pounded flush into the ground after a few weeks of driving on it.
