Well its home and hope to try it out tomorrow IF the weather holds out. Still have to paint the tilt cylinder i noticed it leaking the other day so figured i best replace the seals now and it would be good for a long time. Also found some black vinyl stickers laying around and decided to break up the solid yellow paint a bit.

Well it sure is Purdy....... Let us know how it works. Suppose to start raining here this evening sometime. Don't know about over there.

Oh I will post how it works and maybe a video or two. They are saying tomorrow now on the rain but they keep changing it.

Any more on how things are working out? I wish this site had a like button, but I understand why it dont too. If I missed it and you explained it, I apologize, but did you make it so when the wheel hyd cylinder is extended all the way, that the blade is perfectly level? Thanks.

I haven't been able to use the box blade yet, i had the tractor in the shop and then it rained and is to wet.

As for the wheel tilt, I built mine so that when the cylinder is in mid stroke it's level, it allows me to tilt it in both directions.

I thought that's what you did cause I remembered talking about it. :thumbsup:

Ok, thanks. I'll watch and see when you can get to use it. Looks like a cool tool to have, and there's no tool better than the ones you make yourself.

I finally took some time to shoot a few short videos of the box blade, not much but all I have right now. One is dragging a small garden to knock down some high spots and fill in some lows, I set the blade to just touch when I started and never touched it again till I was finished. The other is cutting dirt in front of my storage area and dragging the dirt in to bring the floor up to grade prior to spreading gravel.
