I have done this many times with my 9n and rear 6 foot blade. The blades have many holes to get them at just about any angle. You want it at the most angle it will go so it is almost touching the right rear tire. Now use the 3 point arm to put the right corner of the blade very low so the left side is pretty much up in the air. Added weight to the rear blade will help it cut better as will damp ground. I usually had my dad ride on the blade for me to keep the weight on the cutting edge and let me know how it was going. Also, don't keep looking back at what you are doing or you will have a crooked ditch. Just get it where you want it and keep looking straight forward and keep the ditch line very straight. Now go back and do it again and again in the same tracks until it is as deep as you want it. You can even come back the other way and do the other side too. It really works pretty good in some cases. Good luck.
