You can angle and tilt the blade and do a nice job. You need to keep a driveway a little higher in the center so rain water runs off. A 2nd choice and maybe one that makes more sense is an old pickup truck with a bale mover bed on it. You can buy the older electric hydraulic bale forks for just a few hundred dollars as all the modern ranchers want the hydraulic beds.
