I used to operate a pull blade as we called it for the State of Mn Road crew with a little modification. In addition to the blade that you see, we also had a second smaller blade behind the seat. It was used to grade gravel shoulders up to the pavement or blacktop and then the back blade would strike it off level pulling the excess back towards the ditch. We would pull it behind a 2 1/2 ton truck. It was only done as fill in work but it did serve a useful purpose as that the edge of the pavement needs to be supported or it will start breaking off if it is undermined overtime. I have noticed that you can still find many sitting in the weeds of old county , townshoip and city shops being onused today. I haven't used one for ten years since I moved to the metro area of MINNEAPOLIS. I used one to build a really nice driveway when I lived in the country and then topped it off with 1 1/2 inch recycled concrete millings. It made for one hell of a solid driveway after the concrete was pounded flush into the ground after a few weeks of driving on it.
