Here's something to consider.
Front end loader rule is to carry as low as possible, for stability.
Low enough to see OVER it not high enough to see UNDER it (-:
There is a problem with that, low buckets don't hold much.
Howeverrrrrr, there is a temptation;
If the pile is big enough you can drive in, roll back and lift to get a level and mounded bucket.
This is why we see SO MANY loaders with the bucket mounded high and carried high.
My opinion ?
Most compact tractor loaders need a lot more roll-back, say enough to get the cutting edge
level with the top edge when a foot off the ground.
Possible with current designs, it would take some intelligent repositioning of the bucket pivots,
mustn't lose out on dump angle - we need the bucket bottom vertical when loading
high into trucks, so can't just shift the range of travel from dump to roll-back.
