Dave: In at your photos again, I can see you are misreading my original post, and I should have perhaps made myself clearer. When I say DEPTH control linkage, I'm refering to the one from front of hitch to the right center rockshaft. When I say lift linkage, I'm refering to linkage on left from rear rockshaft to center rochahaft, that lifts the hitch. Yes, I agree it also can control depth, and yes down pressure will bend the lift linkage.
The way this hitch is designed to work, for example if you had a gauge wheel or wheels on behind of your rear blade it will grade a plane smooth even if your wheels go over a rock, ridge, etc., by controlling front of hitch hydraulically, and letting the hitch lift float. Plowing for example, depth is controlled by the right lever controlling front of the hitch, one just puts lift control on float and drop it all the way. I have a two row corn planter, depth is controlled by rear gauge wheels and hydraulic control of front of hitch, again all the left control does is lift the implement. You get yourself a gauge wheel for the back of that blade, and you'll grade driveways as smooth as the Interstate.

The seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
