Leveling/spreading attachment

Abstract

Devices, methods, and systems for a leveling/spreading attachment are described herein. One system includes a body attachable to a push block portion of a trailer and a leveling blade coupled to the body. In some examples, a leveling blade trailer attachment system includes an adapter plate to replace a push block of a trailer, a body coupled to the adapter plate comprising a number of cylinders connected to an air supply of the trailer, and a leveling blade coupled to the body and the number of cylinders.

What is claimed: 
     
         1 . A leveling/spreading attachment system, comprising:
 a body attachable to a push block portion of a trailer; and   a leveling blade coupled to the body.   
     
     
         2 . The leveling/spreading attachment system of  claim 1 , wherein the body is attachable to the push block portion of the trailer with an adapter plate. 
     
     
         3 . The leveling/spreading attachment system of  claim 2 , wherein the adapter plate positions the leveling blade at a particular angle. 
     
     
         4 . The leveling/spreading attachment system of  claim 1 , wherein the body includes a cylinder coupled to the leveling blade to adjust a height of the leveling blade. 
     
     
         5 . The leveling/spreading attachment system of  claim 4 , wherein the cylinder is a pneumatic cylinder coupled to an air system connected to the trailer. 
     
     
         6 . The leveling/spreading attachment system of  claim 5 , wherein the pneumatic cylinder maintains a height and angle of the leveling blade. 
     
     
         7 . A leveling/spreading attachment system, comprising:
 an adapter plate to replace a push block of a trailer;   a body coupled to the adapter plate comprising a number of pneumatic cylinders connected to an air supply of the trailer; and   a leveling blade coupled to the body and the number of pneumatic cylinders.   
     
     
         8 . The leveling/spreading attachment system of  claim 7 , wherein the number of pneumatic cylinders utilize the air supply to adjust the leveling blade. 
     
     
         9 . The leveling/spreading attachment system of  claim 7 , wherein the trailer is a belly dump style trailer. 
     
     
         10 . The leveling/spreading attachment system of  claim 7 , wherein the leveling blade is positioned to level material deposited at a belly of the trailer. 
     
     
         11 . The leveling/spreading attachment system of  claim 10 , wherein the leveling blade is positioned to level material when the trailer is moving at a speed between  1  mile per hour and  15  miles per hour. 
     
     
         12 . The leveling/spreading attachment system of  claim 7 , wherein the number of pneumatic cylinders provide pressure to the leveling blade such that the leveling blade provides a corresponding pressure to material below the body. 
     
     
         13 . The leveling/spreading attachment system of  claim 7 , wherein the adapter plate acts as a push block of the trailer. 
     
     
         14 . The leveling/spreading attachment system of  claim 7 , wherein the adapter plate positions the body and leveling blade at an angle of  21  degrees from a ground position and at a height of  36  inches above the ground position. 
     
     
         15 . A leveling/spreading attachment, comprising:
 an adapter plate to replace a push block of a belly dump trailer;   a body coupled to the adapter plate of the belly dump trailer;   a cylinder comprising a first connector coupled to the body and an air connector coupled to an air supply of the belly dump trailer; and   a leveling blade coupled to the body and a second connector of the cylinder.   
     
     
         16 . The leveling/spreading attachment of  claim 15 , wherein the cylinder adjusts a height of the leveling blade via the air supply of the belly dump trailer. 
     
     
         17 . The leveling/spreading attachment of  claim 15 , wherein the cylinder adjusts a height of the leveling blade from an activated position and a deactivated position. 
     
     
         18 . The leveling/spreading attachment of  claim 15 , wherein the body acts as a push block for the belly dump trailer. 
     
     
         19 . The leveling/spreading attachment of  claim 15 , wherein the cylinder adjusts a height of the leveling blade based on a weight of the belly dump trailer. 
     
     
         20 . The leveling/spreading attachment of  claim 15 , wherein the cylinder is coupled to an air gate of an existing air supply of the belly dump trailer.
