Harv, Glad to see you are actually using that new tractor!
Practice with the box in three positions, front edge just cutting, box level, and front edge about 2 inches high. This will cut deep, cut shallow, and grade nicely. A hydraulic top link improves productivity, but won't work any better, but you can adjust it quickly and get a cut going forward and another going back.
The tilt lever on the 3 point lets you adjust the cut and slope your cuts for drainage. A heavy (1000#) boxblade works better, but you can add a lot of weight to a 500# blade and see definate improvements. I make most cuts with the scarfiers down since my soil is pretty dry and hard. I have 8 scarfiers and this lets the soil be loosened and cut in a single pass.
