Grading controlling box blade height

Yep, good description of Draft Control and possible problem.

I think until the OP has more experience with draft control he should avoid using it. Simply use the 3pt position control function.

Adjustments are not the secret. Repetitions are.

LoL...

...I am certainly not clueless. Just more experienced than you...

Yeah right...! LoL...! :laughing:

You have no idea. The fact that you have to think you need to make adjustments at that rate reflects that. It's okay. Do what you like.

I make adjustments all the time and here’s some of my work. It’s about as close to golf course smooth as you can get. Ok I didn’t even use a box blade to do that but I still made a lot of adjustments. IMG_7133.JPG

A few. I also worked it from every direction to avoid cutting tracks in it.

Like I said...you have no effing clue...you constantly contradict yourself...LoL...!
It is about "repetitions"...EXCEPT the FEWER the BETTER (unless you're milking a job...duh!)...FYI, the more effective each pass is fewer passes will be required...

Thank each of you for your information...I wasn't sure if I had an issue with the mechanical components of my tractor or something

else. I'm still digesting all of the feedback and links provided and how to apply them when using the tractor.

What exactly does a hydraulic top link look like?

I think you need to familiarize yourself with the tractor's 3pt hitch system. Specifically the difference when using the position control lever versus using the draft control.

After you've mastered this then you can educate yourself regarding a hydraulic toplink. It requires rear hydraulics and a fine touch.
