I haven't had a chance to use my 8N much yet, but in the meantime I have been trying to read up and learn what I can. I'm still trying to wrap my brain around the difference between draft control and position control.
When I put the rear blade on next spring and blade my driveway, which setting should I use?
My previous experience with rear mounted blades on other tractors has been when the tractor wheel drops into a hole, the blade dips also and digs a gouge in the driveway. Likewise, if the wheel goes over a rock, the blade lifts and leaves a hump.
Is this what I am in for, or does one of these settings eliminate that?
Sorry if this is a dumb question. I've been driving tractors for 50 years, but never owned an 8N before. Drove one as a kid, but never with a blade on.
