I've been doing some scraping with my box blade but the feathering for the 3 point on my 2009 B2320, is let's just say, almost non-existent. Is there a cheap fix for this?

Simple answer NOPE, it's called a 1/4 inching valve.

If you can add a hydraulic top link to the tractor then you can use the top link for very fine control. Not the best way but doable.

Does that model offer a draft control? Keeping the control lever pivots is a big help on the larger M and L series.

Neither position control nor draft control.

Only quarter inching valve.

Bring the tractor down to idle and the quarter inching valve positions much better!

It takes some practice, but I can kinda "slap" the lever up/down with my index finger and thumb. Just a short, quick motion to activate the 1/4-inching.

Like you, use it mostly with my BB. Becomes second nature after a while.

It's far from a good feature on BX and some B's, but I've been able to make do.
