SAKAI offers an optional leveling blade (also known as a strike-off blade or dozer blade) for the SV544 series of soil compactors. This 98″ wide (2500mm) hydraulically-lowered blade allows operators to push off high soil spots during site work in front of the roller and is also capable of some light duty spreading or backfilling dirt work. The blade kit must be ordered as a factory-installed option as it is simply cost-ineffective to retrofit. Model variants with the blade kit equipped are subsequently noted with a B suffix (example SV544TB, SV544TBC, SV544TBCF).
