A variety of blades and attachments can be used for different kinds of jobs involving different loads and weights. An S-blade works well for stumping, backfilling, and grading uneven terrain. A U-blade is designed for ditching, pushing, and material handling. The narrower, slightly curved S-U-blade combines the best elements of both for tasks such as backfilling and crowning; it’s great for pushing soil over long distances. An angle blade is a good option for moving soft or medium-hard soil, snow, or gravel. A PAT blade (Power-Angle-Tilt) is a versatile blade good for leveling and scraping harder materials.
