I have been grading and cutting some swales on five acres using my box blade and several times when spreading and smoothing or fine grading I would move the position control and screw up because it was taking so much pressure to move the lever. When it would finally move, it would move too far. Today while it’s so hot, I got out the WSM and found where to adjust. Instead of a tension adjustment where the levers are, it’s an easily accessible spring set on the right rear of the tractor to the right of the remote valve. 1/4 turn on two bolts fixed the problem. Just passing this along in case anyone else has the same issue. Small adjustments to the blade depth are much easier now.
