I have a 26 hp 4 wheel drive tractor and use a 5 foot box blade. It is soft sand where I am working and the box is digging into the sand and completly filling the box. It digs in so much that the back tires sink into the sand and the front wheels almost come off the ground. Front weights may help some, but are expensive. I am wondering if gauge wheels or some type of plate mounted horizontally on the box to act as a float to keep the blade from digging in too much would work. Another thing I thought about was facing the scarifiers backwards to see if they would float the box a little. Any suggestions are appreciated.
I have tried adjusting the top link to short, long, and everthing between. The more dirt gets in it. The more it digs in and raises the front end of the tractor.
