One loop-type blade includes a rectangular base, a pair of trapezoidal side walls extending upwardly from the base, and a rectangular crown connecting the respective tops of the side walls together. Another blade embodiment provides a cylindrical cutting portion having sloping, forward and rearward cutting edges, the forwardmost point of each the cutting edge being at the bottom thereof. The rearward cutting edge may, alternatively, have a plate secured thereto for retaining excavated material within the cylindrical cutting portion.
