    I bought a new Fox rollover yardscraper .well made job.I use it on a ford 3000 But when using it pulling muck it hops a lot and leaves most of the muck behind.

    Its doesn't hop as much pushing muck but still does hop a bit.
    What is the problem , i have adjusted the toplink to various positions but doesn't solve the hopping problem.

    Concrete that im using it on is very level .

    Just wondering is there anyone on here that has the same problem with the rollover yardscraper ?

    Try adjusting toplink.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    Put a few concrete blocks on it over a sheet of metal until the rubber wears in

    It'll just take a bit of time for the rubber to bed in. Once it does the hopping should stop again

    Throw a super single over it and tie it down.
