I think I can modify the blade by adding a new cutting edge. It is rather a steep angle, but I think by adding another cutting edge I will be able to get a better angle without making the blade higher. And it seems to be able to blend in with the curvature of the blade. Almost is like I screwed up to start with by making such a steep angle on the cutting edge originally. I think I was more so comparing in my mind to a snow plow blade. By creating a shallower angle on the cutting edge does that pull the blade down resulting in the machine acting as it has more front end weight? Obliviously I don't know the engineering of blade mechanics but that would make sense to me on these big machines made to carry large piles of dirt.
