I don't ever get spillage over the side that I can remember. But if I am recuttiing a road edge along a sod line to make it wider or just to clean it up or doing a road with lots of leaves and/or sod in it then the box fills up with this junk and the clearance under the top cross members could be higher to get better flow thru. If the loose stuff builds up and hits the cross member it gets damed up. You can avoid this by just lifting the 3ph a little or changing your top link length a little but it takes more passes to get the job done. Make sure you don't put an upper cross member over a blade or you will really have a pinch point that will catch stuff.
edit: It is just an ocassional thing and never a problem with clean gravel only when sod and leaves are mixed in. I thought making it heavier and higher would be two good things that would not hurt anything.
Help your self to any thing you see - I don't mind a bit. Square tube idea is great.
I like the hinged blade you have on the rear. Do you have a way to restrain it so you can control the release of material?
I may consider adding that to mine. Is it set like a hinged rear blade on a Box Blade.
