ABSTRACT:
Blade assemblies for use with compacting vehicles are normally designed to push the material in front of the blade and to control the height of the material passing thereunder for compaction by the compacting vehicle. With the blade raised to allow trash and/or soil to pass thereunder, the trash and/or soil passing thereunder may cause detrimental wear to the components under the compacting vehicle between the compacting mechanisms. In the subject arrangement, a blade assembly is provided and includes a blade pivotally connected to a frame. The blade has a working edge that permits, during use, level spreading of trash and/or soil when the blade is in a first operative position. When the blade assembly is raised and the blade is pivoted forwardly with respect to the frame, a first portion of the working edge controls the volume of trash and/or soil allowed to pass under the working edge between respective compacting mechanisms of a compacting vehicle. The remaining portion of the working edge controls the volume of trash and/or soil subjected to the respective compacting mechanisms for compaction thereof. By controlling the volume of trash permitted to pass under the first portion of the working edge, detrimental wear of the components under the compacting vehicle is substantially eliminated.
