Id love to have something like this, but it looks as tho theres a serious downside. In comparing to the dimension dedicated SK on my 7520 it appears that the adjustable one setsthe bucket 3 inches or so further forward. This is good only if you want it. It can be a serious limitation to max lift load and tractor stability. I think Ill look into a dedicated one for the Woods FEL on my wifes L3450.

Hi Larry - At this point, I'm more concerned about continuing "dropped bucket" problems with my ML112's QA tool carrier. I just can't seem to get it to work properly. If this thing is really heavy-duty, it may be worth the $495 (which includes their shipping) plus CT sales tax they want for it down at Coastal Tractor.

One way or another, I've got to stop dropping buckets.

I just looked at the specs for mine and its 30 degrees roll back on ground? looks like less though but I never measured it
Case can't be wrong

I'd be much happier with 30 degrees. My FEL bucket rollback spec is only 20 degrees... and with just a 15" deep buckets, it makes picking up material close to ground level a rather frustrating chore.

But at this point, I am far more concerned with the strength of my current tool carrier (or lack thereof) and whether this $495 device would be stronger and give a better fit for my QA attachments. Put another way: Would this device solve my embarrassing "dropped buckets" issue?

Doug, that sounds like a KMW problem. I would think they wouldve addressed it by now. Mine is good - and I do 90 degree back drags with loaded fronts. It looks as tho Ill finally have to strengthen the pin slot ears on the bottom of the bucket however. The rt one has deflected a little. Are you having the problem with a KMW bucket??

Doug, don't forget to add about $200 for shipping for this item and it looks like it may put your load further in front decreasing your lift capability

I am having trouble with every bucket I own (two of three are KMW) plus my root/rock grapple. I'll be trying it on my new CAT toothed digging bucket on Friday.

Three grapple drops today in front of the client. One almost snapped the hydraulic lines. I am so sick of it, it hurts.

The $495 price is picked up at Coastal Tractor in CT. Shipping to them is already included in the $495. I will have to pay sales tax. That being said, I've just been told of a possible lower price through someone else.

Lift is already a problem... but that is related to my tractor hydraulics I think. I'm starting to think my operating pressure is set way low.

What does KMW say about this. Is KMWs SK attach for the 4110 unfit for use, or is yours damaged?!
