Original Abstract Submitted
A box blade grading attachment of the present disclosure may comprise an attachment frame, a coupler bracket, a tilt connection, a pivot beam, left and right caster wheels, a grading box, and a tilting actuator. The attachment frame includes a rear attachment frame portion for coupling of the box blade grading attachment to a construction machine and an upper attachment frame portion having an upward facing reference surface. The tilt connection defines a tilt axis about which the attachment frame may tilt relative to the coupler bracket. The tilt axis may be substantially parallel to the upward facing reference surface. The pivot beam is pivotally connected to the upper attachment frame portion and includes left and right caster wheels pivotally connected to the pivot beam. The tilting actuator tilts the attachment frame and the grading box about the tilt axis relative to the coupler bracket.
