Gradeblade History 

“All the years sitting on backhoes and excavators, I knew there had to be a better way.” – Bill Hall

Back in 1998, a fellow named Bill Hall with 30 years of excavation experience, invented “a better way”, when he patented a time-saving blade, known as GRADEBLADE. Hall found a way to turn a toothed bucket into a smooth wide edge, with one model the width of a bucket, the other is extended sizes with wings. Hall, now retired, made a product that is inexpensive, convenient and will fit any brand, type or size of machinery. Bill Hall retired in 2023. 

Today GRADEBLADE has been acquired and re-branded, dropping the reference to Bill. The entire line has been moved to a new manufacturer. Every model has been closely evaluated with very minor upgrades – still basically the same. Standard sizes are matched to bucket widths. Custom model requests still invited. Continuing the tradition, all Gradeblades remain 100% American Made and 100% steel.

Gradeblades help contractors increase productivity while saving them time and money. In just 60 seconds Gradeblade Crumbing and Squeegee Blades slide over the teeth of your bucket; always bringing grading material towards you. Gradeblades reduce backfill time, leave no teeth marks and eliminate the need to rake, shovel, spread sand or run a compactor. See Gradeblade USES. Custom Gradeblades and “branded” models in custom colors for companies are also available.
