GUAGE WHEELS

[ALHILLDIRT]

Update to my original post. I finally got the chance to use them this past weekend. To my surprise they worked extremely well. A little well placed oil and the wheels centered quickly everytime. I had an area approximately 50' x 70' to level, for the site of a new shop. At the lowest point I had almost 3' of fill down to nothing at the highest point. Luckily I had a bank that I could cut into for the fill, and with the rented skid steer the job went quickly. I let the clay fill set for 3 weeks and several rains later, dumped 4 loads of "chert". Used the tractor and box blade to spread the "chert" semi-level. Let that dry for a week and then came back with the box blade with guage wheels. Will let that set agaiin, then come back with the box blade and guage wheels.

Yes!, nice work.
I was equally amazed at how handy the wheels are.
Here's my fav story: I am able to dump soil and smooth out the lumps and bumps in my lawn with the box blade (or rear blade actually) with the wheels. I can set it just right with the top link that the blade will just yank, but not cut, the grass on the hi spots. And, of course fills in the lows. The first time I did it the lawn looked almost like a green Holstein pattern. The lawn was riddled with gopher mounds but is now very very smooth.
