In my neck of the woods we call it a "back blade"

I too call it a back blade, but when I'm using it I'm plowing snow or blading the driveway... go figure.

Yeah I'm thinking the same as most of you, If it has a blade its purpose is to scrape or dig, if it has a tooth,spade,disc, it is for plowing 
although I have used my Box scrape as a plow, by bolting a plowing spade on each side of the outer bottom lip at the rear of the box so they will hang down 10-12" worked great for busting up this Ga, red clay, also makes perfect 3 1/2 ft layout row
Note: that was 10 or more years ago when I had to improvise, I do have a real plow now,

'Tis but a name that is thy enemy;
... O, be some other name!
What's in a name? that which we call a rear blade
By any other name would plow the snow as sweet ...

I would call a blade mounted on the front a plow and a blade mounted on the back a scraper. My 2 cents.
