Okay, so I might get a "I told ya so."
I just bought a new M7060 using Kubota's Top-N-Tilt, and 3 remotes. I asked the dealer for 2 of the remotes to be a float valve, for the TnT cylinders, but he insisted all should be Self Cancelling Detent valves (SCD), as that is what they say and should be used for TnT... (I'm guessing this has to be a personal preference thing?) So, I did have some issues using my box scraper while using the SCD valves, digs in all over the place, I cant get a set scrape height to fine tune to barely drag the blade across the top ground. (float across the top)
The other issue is that the Kubota top ram seems to be too short, and I'm not able to get more 'front or back' tilt out of the blade, cause a too aggressive cut...
I have to definitely play around with it more, and I have a friend of mine who runs commercial grading equipment, and he noticed these same issues if you will. I think we just have to play around with it more, but I do feel I should have 2 float valves instead...
Looks like this ram here could be too short?

Don't know if its possible, but maybe if I try to hook up the lower link arms to the available hole down below, might give me more adjustment out of that ram? Essentially moving the BB closer to the tractor...?

I sure do have a leak, I'm gonna try and tighten up some of those lines! Hope it's not from the quick couplers themselves...

Also, what sorts of problems were people having with the factory Kubota Top-n-Tilt? .....Perhaps a Fit-Rite ram may....fit right? lol
