Don't know for sure, but I have never seen a picture of Bradley with a dozer blade. I have however seen some with the track width mine plow, so maybe this was what you saw.

You probably saw the M9 ACE (Armored Combat Earthmover). It is a one man armored bulldozer that has the mobility of an M113.

SgtReef,
As Sabot & Matt have provided an explanation.
If it was a FULL width blade it was an M9 ACE, if not It could have been an M2A2 w/ the
Track width mine plow attachment. The New Concord Book M2A2/M3A2 Bradley shows several pics of this attachment in various guises.

I wouldn't think a Bradley would have enough power to push a dozer blade.

Well after a little sleep and another look.
Here is photo 3 vehicle back you are right missed the turret thing.
Must have been tired
(++) (:-)
that is it M9 Ace !!
Nice model it would be in plastic!
Make a nice Dio if you had real deep pockets
also noticed the first one uses the newer barrel

Sgtreef,Sabot, Matt,Blaster,
SO Sgtreef it was in fact an M9 Ace..........BUT The Bradley
does use the BLADE for which I supplied the Referance.
SgtReef: Would be a lot cheeper to build the Bradley w/ the mine plough on it. !!
DONT YA THINK.?????
