Box Blade Cutting Angle?

[jwmorris]

Nice! I made a very simple swing arm setup for a cut down trailer axle, then bought a cheap hydraulic cylinder for the height adjustment.

As it turned out, the cylinder is really only used for transport, then set to rough height for moving dirt. Cutting depth is then fine tuned with the 3-point.

When wanting really good precision I put a 4-foot extension on the tongue.

I like it, my axle came off an old paint vat, trailing arms were off a foxbody and I used a load binder so I could set an angle if I wanted to.

Hey Just wondering if there are standard angles for the cutting edge to be attached onto a box blade?
