How could i increase the curl by changing the pin holes here? anyone done this?

Also.. any danger in welding on the underside of the tractor (back axle)?

Update: That didn't work. Looks like the cylinder hole needs repositioning too. Will try this setup.

If you want more rollback the lower pin needs to go forward but if you change it to much it may not go to vertical in the dump position.

It looks like the bucket doesn't extend very far up/forward. If you increase the rollback, it may take a little more attention to the bucket position when lifting a load high to prevent dumping material off the back and onto your hood.

Have you thought about converting to a 4 link at the bucket? They give more roll back AND more dump angle too.

Hey JB- thanks for that i never even heard of it. i'l check it out.

I did try the repositioning of the holes like the first pick and it works much better about 5 inches back from the original.

edit- i looked for 4 pin hole bucket on line and came up empty thus far..

Notice the extra links at the bucket.
