Final post - pushing into pile. I would pull the length into a row. Then I would pull the row into a pile. The problem with a long pull is that you fill the box blade and it begins to ride up and leave some soil. The answer is to take the remaining soil and push it into the pile for removal by the bucket.
The V for pushing or pulling works very well and used both the same amount of time.

Nice pictures. Thanks, Paul. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
That explains how the teeth work. I suppose you could pin them for faster switching, but two bolts probably don't take that long to switch, do they? My old box blade for the three point, you have to slip in each tooth, then pin them. Probably takes just as long as a ratchet and wrench would for your two bolts. What's really nice is you just dump the box blade and pop on the bucket in 15 seconds and off you go to remove the spoils.
Again, thanks for taking the time to post the pictures. Yours show the thickness of the steel. The photos on the PT website make it look kind of whimpy. Apparently, that's not the case. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
