What's the difference between a dozer blade and a snow blade? I have a simple job I need to move a little dirt, if I can keep the blade from tipping forward, will it do what I need or am I way off?
Snow blade are normally lighter weight and "trip" when they meet high resistance. Some snow blades are not made of steel. Also, snow plows have "feet" that allow you to set the edge above the surface so the blade does not get worn or dig into the surface under the snow. "feet" are normally adjustable and removable.
You can use a heavy duty snow blade to push dirt but if you need to scrape compacted dirt it may not work. It would depend on how heavy the "trip" springs are.
In other words, it all depends on how heavy duty the snow blade is.
I actually own a combination blade that has 1" pin to switch from snow to dozer.
