Abstract: A tongue pulled spreader and grader system having a pair of spaced apart sidewalls and cross beams to define a frame portion, a plurality of moveable or fixed blades extending between the sidewalls, each blade positionable along the length of each sidewall and fixed in position at a predetermined angle; a tongue for mounting the frame to the rear of a vehicle; a pair of wheels positioned on an axle on either side of the sidewalls; means for manually or hydraulically extending the wheels to a down position to make contact with a surface in order to transport the spreader and grader and for retracting the wheels to an up position so that the spreader and grader can undertake the grading process. The spreader and grader can attach to and be operated by ATVs, SUVs, light trucks, lawn tractors, sub compact tractors, side by side ATVs and fork trucks.

Abstract: An improved spreader/grader system, which includes a frame having a pair of parallel sidewalls; a plurality of spreader/grader blades positioned between the sidewalls and secured within a slot along the length of each of the sidewalls, each blade having a lower edge for spreading or grading a surface upon which the spreader/grader rests; a hydraulic cylinder attached to each end of each blade to allow each blade to be moveable along the length of the sidewall in a parallel or non-parallel relationship as desired by the operator; and a hydraulic cylinder system for attaching the frame to a vehicle, such as a tractor, for pulling the spreader/grader during the spreading/grading process. The blades of the spreader/grader may alternatively be secured in fixed positions between the sidewalls of the frame with a bolt/nut combination.

Abstract: An apparatus for spreading and grading has first and second runners disposed in generally parallel relation to each other; a blade support operatively connected between the runners; a moldboard pivotally attached to the blade support; and first and second blades attached to the moldboard and facing generally forward and aft, respectively. The blade support, moldboard, and blades are configured so that, when the apparatus is in contact with the surface to be worked and forward or aft motion is imparted to the apparatus, then the moldboard undergoes pivotal motion so that one blade is placed in operative connection with the surface to be worked while the other blade is placed in a clearance position with respect to the surface to be worked. This configuration allows for bi-directional operation.

Abstract: An improved spreader/grader apparatus having a pair of substantially parallel sidewalls, spaced apart, and supporting at least two spreader/grader blades therebetween. There would be provided a hydraulic or manual adjustment member connected to at least one end of each of the cutting blades, for allowing the one end to be movably adjusted along the length of the sidewalls, so that the blades may be moved from a position substantially perpendicular to the length of the sidewall, to a position angulated therefore, so as to provide a means to prevent material graded to accumulate along the length of the blades, but to slide along the angulated blade and be deposited outside the grader apparatus. The blades are fixed in their relation to the surface itself, and cannot rotate about an axis.
