You probably had it right the first time..... you definitely need to 'play' with it. Get to know how the angles affect the operation. There is a "learning curve" to use it effectively. You probably already know that....

I have the hydraulic top link coming today. If everything goes good, I'll get to use it all on Monday. Gotta finish thr hay I have laying in the field first.

I couldn't help myself yesterday. I hooked it up before the top link arrived and did some work with it for like 10 mins before I had to switch back to the hay equipment.

You are going to get a lot of work done with that box blade. I use mine all the time. I could not be without a box blade!! You also bought the right size. Nice!!!

That is certainly a nice box blade! The T-N-T makes it really capable of doing a bunch of different jobs.
Good luck and practice, practice, practice some more!

I got the HTL on last night and got a chance to play around with the pile of dirt that was there. I definitely never knew what I was missing. Maybe my next investment for it will be a hydraulic tilt option as well....
There is one before picture of the clay dirt pile. It wasn't as loose as it looks last night as it had been sitting for about 3 weeks.

Congrats! I love using my box blade as it's versatile and has such a 'skill' element (you can accomplish a lot, or worse than nothing depending on whether you're doing it right or not), but i imagine a combo like yours is even more fun since the size of the tractor and the weight of the blade probably makes the setup 'not take no for an answer' a lot moreso than my ~1500lb tractor and 60" box blade. I enjoy finessing the capabilities out of my tiny tractor but every once in a while it would be nice to have weight and power like that.

That SAME looks really sharp in blue!

Hah, it's the explorer II engine if I recall the parts manual correctly. It's a great tractor so far but parts can be expensive. I don't mind the farmtrac logo
BTW, what gave you the impression it was a SAME?

I was under the impression it was a SAME in the way Bobcat tractors are Kioti's in white, though only applying to your particular model (or series?) and not the entirety of the Farmtrac lineup.

I believe this particular line (7xx) series may be all SAME. The smaller models look closer to the old Ford style tractors. I haven't seen any others to know for sure though.
