Soil transport surface with anti-adhesion biomimetic features and machine using same

A soil transport machine, such as a track type tractor equipped with a bulldozer blade, includes a soil transport interaction surface (blade) with an array of anti-adhesion biomimetic protrusions that project out of a base surface. The biomimetic protrusions may have a smooth convex shape sized and distributed in a manner that reduces soil adhesion and the associated carryback, especially in adhesive soils such as heavy clay. The biomimetic protrusions may be incorporated directly into the surface of the bulldozer blade, or maybe part of a replaceable liner that is attached to the blade body in a conventional manner.
