I have a Adams, they are noted for wheel side tilt features. As others have stated you need two operators. My mind usualy jumps to saftey.
Be very carefull, while the man stands on the grader running the lift wheels it is a good idea to lean yourself between the wheels as if you hit a obstruction or just plain gouge to deep on a small incline the grader will literaly jump sideways and throw you off the side faster than you can snap your fingers. If you are leaning forward between the lift wheels you can brace yourself a little better.

If you can unbolt the whole front end without destroying it you can bolt a hitch to it and hook it to a 3 point tractor hitch. If you wire the lift wheels you can control the cutting depth by raising or lowering the 3 point hitch on the tractor. If you do this it is a good idea to slot the holes in your tounge, or make it for a ball hitch so it does not bind up and bend your hitch if raised extreemly high. This was done to numerous ones in our area, and most of the front ends were thrown in the scrap iron pile.

Perhaps the biggest mistake when starting out is trying to cut to deep. They will do a pretty good job for you if used correctly.

They are made for pulling and a real test of driver skills trying to back one up in soft fill.
