KW, I have watched many vids some from EA and agree they were excellent instructions but none of the covered one of my original questions qbout using the BB backwards. The years of experience answering my questions have though so thanks to all that have posted.

Jeff, thanks for the google search link, I had read many of those before I guess I missed the one with good info the first go around. After reading the debate about using the draft control to raise and lower the implement it makes sense an kind of cleared it up a bit.. when it warms up a bit, I'll get out there and put it to practical use. As for the counterbalance explanation thanks, that is great to know how it best works and why. I think if I ever rolled over there would a foul smell about the earth lol.

I am running a 5 foot BB on my CK20S. Great tool once you get used to it, I added a hydraulic top link which makes everything much easier and faster. As far as pushing I agree it is fine for light leveling. I bent my upper assembly on my BB pushing boulders and had to rebuild it. Luckily I did not damage the 3pt arms. I have four suitcase weights @ 69 lbs. each which I hang on the sides of my BB for added traction seems to work fine so far. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.
