That's correct. The wider the width, the more friction.
We use a blade that can install a 3/4" conduit or cable size on the 410.

Great question… there is a few key differences.
With a chute, you can drop in multiple conduit… BIG advantage,
sometimes we put in 2x 1.5” or 1.5” plus a ¾”. One for fiber, one for power if
a customer wants power at a driveway (gates, light, sensor)
If you are required to put in a “caution tape”, must use a chute…
If you are going in a straight line, pulling is great. Less HP
needed.
Many or sharp curves… use a chute
Or plan for adding couplers
If soil conditions are soft, chute works great. No breakage or pipe
stretching.
If soil conditions are packed/hard… add more horsepower/traction for
a chute
Using a pull blade to run the path without product in hard ground on
the first pass, then go back with the pull blade on the second pass and pull
the product.
If you have roots, the pull blade with serrated teeth do a great job.
I haven’t seen a serrated edge on a chute.
Friction is not your friend when pulling…
And size of the machine… when using a chute, you need more traction /
weight / HP.

Re: [AFMUG] Pull blade vs chute blade
The chute is much harder to pull through the ground (in our experience). The pulling blade pulls a narrow blade through whereas the chute has to open a 2” gap.
