I know I need one, and will probably bite my well-chewed bullet and get the one from PT. But I have questions, having never owned a box scraper before. Also the shipping from Virgina would add significantly to the cost.
With PT's, I guess you pull it while driving backwards. The ones that hook to a CUT's 3pt hitch also get pulled, although the CUT is driving forward. In both cases, the tractor is operating on pre-leveled ground.
Do you leave it in "float" or try and make the box do its leveling by constant adjustment of the angle/lift?
What is the reason it can't be pushed instead of pulled? Seems if the tractor was on "already leveled" ground, the results would be smoother and more level, although there'd be tire tracks in the finished work.
Have any of you built your own? Has anyone built a "pusher" box? What problems does anybody see with that arrangement? Why wouldn't grabbing a box scraper from TSC and welding on a PT attachment plate work?
