Picked it up and got it to my property and realized i didn't have proper pins to secure it---i assumed the ones from my mower would work. WARNING: Don't make my mistake if you need to get work done.

Blade works great on flat setting.
It appears to me side to side tilt adjustability is fairly worthless.
The nearest next hole tilts the blade so steeply I couldn't imagine what one would do with it at a 30-ish degree angle.
The next hole is plain rediculous- blade is almost completely on edge, plus the three point can't lift blade high enough for this anyway.

If you have a lot of driveway to correct, expect a sore neck from looking back behind you so much, plus wrestling with the three point up and down lever to fine tune your work.

It came with no instructions so I was flying seat of the pants---maybe I'm missing something here concerning adjustment features??

That is too bad about the side tilt, my King Kutter blade is continuously adjustable that way, no holes, just loosen bolts. Actually cumbersome to do but works well to crown a driveway, make minor ditches etc.
