GRADEBLADE: Convert a toothed backhoe or excavator bucket to smooth – a grading blade in two minutes.
GradeBlade is a bolt-on smoothing edge that installs over existing bucket teeth.
Gradeblade (previously Hall’s Gradeblade) is an economical attachment that converts your backhoe or excavator’s digging bucket into a grading tool. You can grade trenches with a Crumbing Blade which is ordered the same width as the bucket. Squeegee Blades, wider than the bucket, are available up to 10 foot wide. Smooth top surfaces easily and quickly without shovels and rakes with either blade.
Crumbing Blades are ordered to the width of bucket.
The Gradeblade Crumbing Blade in a minute converts your digging bucket into a grading device. The same width as your bucket, you can also grade top surfaces easily and quickly without shovels and rakes. Or you can crumb the bottom of a trench.A Chain Binder and weld-on hook is included, the same attachment method as the Crumbing Blade.
Designed for all toothed buckets, Gradeblades install in just a minute, requiring no tools. A weld-on anchor is provided for a chain binder to secure the blade from the back of the bucket. All Crumbing Blades come welded on T-120 steel cutting edge, a chain, chain binder and weld-on hook. Gradeblades are perfect for plumbers and concrete contractors, septic companies, landscapers, cemtearies, and all types of excavating.
