Angling a Box Blade
What is the correct way to angle your box blade to crown a driveway if you do not have a hydraulic top link? I don't want to bend my top link again.
Thanks.Brian

If you mean left to right, I use my adjustable link to my lower 3ph arm.

Re: Angling a Box Blade
Depends on how many degrees of crown you want.
Set your blade on a flat surface.. like a driveway, now lift it so that it is 1/4" off the drive.. now adjust the hand crank to achieve the angle you want to use. Individual adjustment will vary by machine.

Re: Angling a Box Blade
Thanks for the help guys. Angling the BB worked great. Now I have the driveway sloped to the sides so the water will run off.

Makes one heck of a nice V shaped ditch also. Could not do without my BB.

Re: Angling a Box Blade
Next to a FEL.. I consider a BB as the swiss army knife of tractor implements.
