Earth moving, ground leveling and land planing apparatus having a substantially rectangular frame which is pivotally attached at the back end thereof to a support member containing ground engaging wheels. A cutting blade is disposed laterally between the bottom sides of the frame and a bucket having an open front end is pivotally mounted at its lower forward edge to the frame adjacent the blade for swinging between a generally horizontal earth loading position and an upwardly tilting unloading position. An apron comprising a swingable gate is provided to form an operable front wall for the bucket. Means are provided for swinging the apron about a pivot axis which is transverse of the frame, at a vertical distance above the bottom of the frame equal to at least about one-half the vertical depth of the bucket and displaced forward of the blade.
