ABSTRACT:
A blade attachment that can be attached to an excavator or backhoe in 10 seconds and removed in 3 seconds from the operator's seat without the need for tools, nuts, bolts, pins, chains, hoses or additional personnel. The blade attachment is secured to the bucket with two u-shaped adaptors welded to the inside of the bucket. The blade has opposing brackets which support a grab bar and adjustable striker bar, allowing it to be installed on numerous buckets without modification, and providing for quick removal. The design of the bucket adaptors and striker bar prohibits the blade from being removed during earth moving and grading operations, but allows the operator to maintain a level grade when the machine is sitting on as much as a 10% grade difference.
