It takes a steady hand on the depth control even with a Zane Thang, but you will have fun learning how to feather the soil out. It is all about seat time... Use stabilizers arms for stability and strength too. Adjust your top link arm length to rock the blade attack angle. Most box scrapers work in reverse, too, pushing the soil around that way will put a kink in your neck! [Reply]  [No Email]
