So I picked up a Woods GSS72 Grading Scraper (Land Plane) yesterday to do some roadwork (new roads) and level a new field (http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/attachments/341417-field-cleaning-thoughts.html).
I got the unit home, unloaded it, and took it out to play a bit. Tried it on my gravel driveway first and WHOA, did it make a cut... nice and smooth but seemed pretty aggressive. Took it out on one of my new dirt roads (logging roads for now but will end up being my service road). Worked pretty well from what I could tell.
So here's my question... The 2 moldboards are set an inch or so below the adjustable side runners. Watched a couple U-Tube videos on these things and it seems the non-adjustable units are flush on the bottoms, and one of the vids of one with adjustable sides like mine made it sound like the adjustment is more for wear.
Should I adjust the side runners to be flush with the moldboards? How do you guys that have one of these have them set up? Flush from the get go or no?
Thanks, Scott
