a quick question about the tractor side qa part when it is on the tractor and the curl cylinders are rolled back should the adapotor plate face be verticale when no attachment is on or should they have some "roll back as wel I will post a pic later I can't right now thanks

Mine rolls back about 15-20 degrees when the lift arms are all the way down. As the lift arms are raised, the rollback angle increases. I've never paid a lot of attention to the angle, just to the fact that the roll cylinders are retracted fully. Do you think you have the wrong plate and it is not made properly? When I hook up a QA implement, I lift and roll back the adapter before locking in the pins. It doesn't take much rollback at ground level to do that. Mine rolls back enough to hold a fully heaped bucket of dirt just below the hood level without losing much when I go over bumps, but certainly with the bucket low, the face of the bucket is nowhere near horizontal and the rear of the bucket with the adapter is sitting tilted toward the tractor at about a 30 Degree angle with the bucket 3' off the ground.

well I know I don't have a new holland qa adaptor. I bought one off a guy from a skid steer that has never been used for $250 bucks it fits the loader I think I just need to move the top pin holes forward to get more roll back I was goning to buy a new holland one but compared to $600 I decided this might work. The width is perfect I will try to get some pics later

Well, here's a picture for reference. I have a 3PH adapter for my FEL QA hitch. In this picture I have a 3PH bale spear attached, but you can see the angle of the adapter with still another inch of curl left on the FEL cylinders. The adapter is parallel to the QA plates. It's up in the air a bit and will have less angle sitting on the ground of course.

Another thing is that the skidsteer plate may not be designed for the linkage between the bucket cylinders and the plate. That could certainly cause some geometry issues.

the adaptor and my bucket and snow plow are at the welding shop to turn into qa hook up. they are going to modify the adaptor and move the top holes so it will roll back a little farther so i can keep material in the bucket. hopefully this project comes in under 400 dollars. I will be happy since the new holland adaptor alone was going cost 600. It might leave a little room for forks sooner than I thought
