The mounting body 5 of the blade device 7 can also be directly connected to the boom 3 and the cylinder 4.
The blade support portion 14 is formed with a hole that can be inserted from the rear between the upper and lower plate members of the attachment portion 2 </ b> A of the blade 2 and through which the vertical axis 15 can be inserted. By inserting the blade support portion 14 into the attachment portion 2A and inserting the longitudinal axis 15 through them, the blade 2 is connected to the mounting body 5 so as to be rotatable around the longitudinal axis 15.

  Between the blade support portion 14 and the attachment portion 2A of the blade 2, angle setting means 16 for setting an angle around the vertical axis of the blade 2 is provided. In the angle setting means 16, a plurality of setting holes 16a are arranged in an arc on the upper and lower plate members of the mounting portion 2A around the insertion hole for the longitudinal axis 15, and the blade support portion 14 has at least one hole facing the setting hole 16a. 14a is formed, and the inclination angle of the blade 2 is set by inserting the setting pin 34 into the hole 14a and the setting hole 16a facing the hole 14a at a position where the blade 2 is rotated around the vertical axis 15. The angle of the blade 2 can be changed from a posture facing forward until the back surface approaches the boom-side pivoting portion 12.

The main body part 11 is a horizontally long member, and is formed in a hollow shape with a longitudinal and horizontal plate material fixed to the back surface of the front plate 11a in a rib shape.
