Trench digging and carrying with the same bucket attachment present on one track vehicle, the created dual functionality saves both time and expense by doing on-site what would normally be required to be done with two separate vehicles and additional manpower. The bucket attachment is especially advantageous when used in areas with limited space. Another advantage is that the modification can be adapted to bucket vehicles of various sizes.

BULLDOZER RAKE ASSEMBLY
20200109535 · 2020-04-09 ·

A bulldozer rake assembly for facilitating a single bulldozer blade to be employed for grubbing and grading includes a bulldozer blade that is mountable on a bulldozer for grading. The bulldozer blade has a bottom edge and a top edge. A rake unit is pivotally coupled to the bulldozer blade. The rake unit is positionable in a deployed position having the rake unit being aligned with the bottom edge of the bulldozer blade. In this way the rake unit is positioned to engage roots and debris for grubbing. The rake unit is positionable in a stored position having the rake unit being aligned with the top edge of the bulldozer blade. In this way the bulldozer blade can engage earth for grading.

Device to Remove Gravel from a Roof
20200087886 · 2020-03-19 ·

The present invention is a device to remove gravel from a roof. The device is a blade assembly vertically mounted on a riding drive mechanism, such as a tractor, and the blade assembly has a smooth, horizontal blade, such as used for snow plowing, and mounted proximate and parallel to the smooth blade is a serrated blade having an up position and a down position. In the down position, the serrations extend to the roof to loosen and remove gravel. In the up position, the serrations are above the edge of the smooth blade which scrapes the loosened gravel. A downward force is provided to force the serrations between the gravel.

Adjustable blade assembly

A blade assembly may include a blade and a wing. The blade may be configured to be pivotably attached to a machine. The wing may be pivotably attached to an end of the blade to adjust a width of the blade assembly. The wing may be movable relative to the blade over a range of motion that is greater than 180 degrees.

Work machine with automatic pitch control of implement

A system and method for automatically adjusting the pitch of a work implement attached to a work vehicle, wherein the work implement has adjustable wings. The system and method include moving materials with a blade having an adjustable wing located at one end of a center portion of the blade. blade operatively connected to the work vehicle is positionable with respect to the work vehicle in response to an operator command. A commanded position of the blade is identified based on a blade positioning signal received from the operator command transmitted by an operator control device. An inclined position of the adjustable wing with respect to the center portion of the blade is identified. A pitch of the blade with respect to the work vehicle based is automatically adjusted based on the identified commanded position of the blade and the identified inclined position of the adjustable wing.

Floating earth levelling blade assembly with shoes
11913191 · 2024-02-27 · ·

An earth levelling blade assembly for mounting on the lift arms of a loader includes a laterally extending main blade and two shoes supported at opposing ends of the main blade for sliding engagement along the ground. The shoes are supported for movement between a forward position ahead of the main blade and a rearward position behind the main blade, as well as being adjustable in height relative to a bottom cutting edge of the main blade. A coupling arrangement between a first mounting frame on the lift arms of the loader and a second mounting frame on the rear mounting face of the main blade (i) supports the second mounting frame to be freely pivotal about a forward axis relative to the first mounting frame in which the forward axis is oriented in the forward working direction of the loader and (ii) supports the second mounting frame to freely translate relative to the first mounting frame along an upright axis.

Earth moving implement with adjustable configuration earth moving blades
11905676 · 2024-02-20 ·

An earth moving implement for forming a ditch when towed across ground includes a frame, a tow arm connecting the frame to a towing vehicle, wheels supporting the frame for rolling movement along the ground, and a blade assembly comprising a plurality of earth moving blades. The blades include two main blades arranged to be configured to extend rearwardly in opposing lateral directions from a blade apex of the blade assembly such that the earth moving blades diverge rearwardly from the blade apex, and two outer blades supported on the main blades respectively. The orientation of the outer blades relative to the main blades and of the main blades relative to the frame can all be adjusted while the bottom cutting edges remain level with one another to readily vary cutting width and the lateral direction of earth movement by the blade assembly as desired.
