pjtiii,
I too have a TC26DA and have found that not being able to do anything in high gear is a pain. I am constantly shifting back and forth while digging with my FEL to transporting. My 1320 had a mid speed which is what I worked in most of the time and I believe NH should have it on the TC26 too. I can put a 2x4 in front of my tires and my tractor will not climb over it in high. No tire spin, just sits there not moving. I talked to my dealer and he checked out hydro and said it was fine. Just feel a tractor should pull a little more even if it is in high gear. Don't get me wrong I love my tractor but this one issue is aggravating.
For the box blade, it takes time and lots of practice. I play with the top link till I get the results I want. I found having the front just a little lower than the back gives me the results I want. The tines dig and the back grades in this way. I know I have it set right when my box is full but not over filled to fall out the sides.
If you are trying to dig out with your BB I found going over with the front tines much deeper first and then lowering the back to drag out what was loosened up works well. Hope this helps but it is a play and see what you get to learn.
