If I were working in grass, I'd put my scarifiers as deep as possible and try do a crisscross pattern to break up the grass roots. In my opinion, a boxblade is not very good at working in grass. You really need to remove the grass sod layer or break it up so the blade can dig it out. Grass is like working in rocks. They roll up under the blade and that causes you to dump or go over what you are trying to pull inside the box. Boxblades are best used on gravel, bare soil, or for spreading materials. Cutting throuh sod or dragging/collecting football sized rocks is not their strong point.
I keep my scarifiers all the way down on one of my boxblades and just use my hydraulic toplink to change the pitch of the blade. I also use tilt to change the blade for digging on either side. If you don't have that feature, you just have to experiment with several postions of your toplink and sidelink to see which works best for you. Getting on and off the tractor is a royal pain. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
