I never grew up with 3pt type tractors so this is a bit new to me. I have a VAC and when using the blade it doesn't work so great as there is no downward pressure. I am so ignorant I don't know if all tractors are that way or not. My neighbor did some blading for me with his farmall and it seemed to bite more. SO, the question is, did the 300 series have downward pressure on their eagle hitch? I see plows with cylinders on them even on vac. Is that where they get downward pessure? I don't have hydraulic ports on my vac. There is a 300 for sale and kinda want to know what to look for.
Thanks in advance
 
Most 3 point systems do not use down pressure. The VAC and the other small tractors of that category did not have down pressure. The farmall fast hitch and some of the eagle hitch tractors with external cylinders do have down pressure (DC, SC, 400 ect.) The hydraulic cylinder on the plows was used to change the pitch of the plows while plowing to either increase or decrease the amount that it would pull into the ground termed "suck" usually. It was not a down pressure system. A hydraulic toplink will help you adjust your implements on the fly. I use one and it is very handy. It will not give you down pressure, it will only change the angle of your implements from the tractor seat "on the fly". If you would like I can post some pictures for you.
 
By now someone has posted on youtube how to grade a drive or lane. Basically you need a blade with a sharp edge and timing is very important. Soon after a rain when the ground is not mudd but not dry you can do better job than if you have not had rain for a month.
 
To get better cutting action on a blade you change the angle of the blade with the top link, or add weight to it. If you have a box blade you can use the scarifiers to loosen up the road bed.
