Hi guys thought i would let ya know how it went for me with my first start on my driveway with box blade. I have a CT 335 HST with a Land pride 25-66 hinged box blade. First off my driveway is wavey like a roller coster so i went and tried to hit all the high spots first which is easyer said then done. Any how i started with box about level and it seemed to dig very well and fill up box . So after taking tops off high spots for awhile i tried shorting my top link as far as it would go and try it that way. Whiched seemed to make it harder to control would react very fast so I tried going way long with top link and i also did not have my hinged door locked. I think it would work better like this with hinged rear door locked but i didnt have time to mess with it will play more tonight. So i went back to level seem the best spot for me for know any how as I learn more. So after taking tops off high spots i started at one end and dropped box and drove slow i tried adjusting box on low and high spots as i went i didnt just but box down in float postion. I t seemed to do a perty nice job the waves in driveway make it tough as tractor goes up blade wants to dig and then as tractor goes over top blade comes up but i think as i take more and more off high spots will get better. To night i want to put rippers down and tear up left side of driveway and then try tilting box and putting a nice little ditch to match other side also can use that dirt on low spots will let ya know how it turns out. P.S i was worried which blade to get for my tractor so far i could pull a full box of dirt still scrapping in high gear no problem so next i will see how it pulls with rippers down but as of now i would say a CT335 would pull a 7 ft box blade no problem.
