Thanks for the tip. My loader does have re-gen (Case LX11x).
What happens if you leave the FEL normal (not in float), have the A-frame welded to the Q/A plate, and make the blade very short coupled to the plate? Getting the angle cylinders fixed behind the plate and so forth would sure be easier with a rigid A-frame-to-plate mount. Will the trip give adequate protection? My drive is gravel, and I don't scrape it all the way to the surface.

Edit: I decided to attach a rough side-view sketch showing the minimum coupling to the Q/A plate (about 17"). That distance will allow at least ア30ー of angle and not interfere with the loader (17" should allow clearance on a width of 48"). Would you increase it? If so, how much? If I keep the power angle, the cylinders will need to be repositioned. I am considering a 5/16 plate. Would you recommend going up to 3/8" thick?
