An object of the invention is to provide a blade preferable for being
mounted on various kinds of work machines, particularly work machines for
digging, carrying of soil and leveling, in which increase in a quantity
of soil per tractional force is achieved with a simple structure to
reduce consumption horsepower and increase fuel consumption efficiency
thereby leading to low cost. A blade comprises a central front face
section having a linear first cutting edge at a bottom end thereof, a
jointed front face section having a second cutting edge which continues
from the first cutting edge and extends backward in an expanding manner
at a predetermined angle, and an end front face section having a third
cutting edge which continues from the second cutting edge and extended
forward in an expanding manner at a predetermined angle. Each blade front
face of the central front face section, the jointed front face section
and the end front face section is constructed of a continuously curved
concave face in upward and downward directions thereof. Preferably, a
blade width of the first cutting edge is set larger than an internal
width between right and left traveling units or a distance between
opposing faces of a pair of right and left brackets for lift cylinders.
