Doing some box blading and need to angle my blade. I have a tractor supply generic speeco turn buckle type on one side and the factory leveling arm on the other side.

But the boxblade is too heavy to adjust easily and quickly. Thinking of buying another factory type leveler for other side and or looking for one with more mechanical advantage. Of course hydraulics would be nice but overkill for 95 + % of my use.

Which leveling arms have the best mechanical advantage? I like the look of the ratchet bull jack but doesn't look like it will bolt up directly.

I need a new bar through my turnbuckle as the hole is oblong and it fell out. I guess I can have one welded about in the middle and then use a cheater bar from a piece of pipe to turn it. Anyone done that or similar?

Right now I lift the arms to a neutral position and make a few turns but with a cheater could probably make a few more turns so I don't have to keep readjusting the lift arms.
