GN:

The problem is the set-up. A rear mounted blade is supported such that is is being pulled through the soil ( or across as the case may be) rather than pushed through the soil like in the case of a dozer. You can turn your blade around and push, although tractor tires do not grip well in reverse. A center mounted grading blade or front mount blade will work even better. Unfortunately, a rear blade is not the tool for the job. Another trick is to loosen the soil first. I run a set of spring time cultivators over the area and then you can move the loose dirt. A small skid loader is ideal though...it has a low center of gravity and can really push/dig.
