A method and apparatus for material handling coupled to a vehicle to move material and an object. The material handling apparatus comprises a blade movably attached to the vehicle and configured to move the material and move relative to the vehicle. A pair of forks is coupled to the blade and configured to move from one position wherein the forks form a portion of the blade to a second position wherein the forks can selectively manipulate the object. The material handling apparatus can include actuators to move the blade and the forks. The apparatus can also be configured wherein the actuators are controlled from inside the vehicle.
