View attachment 3 This is the system I'm familiar with and the neighbors tractor has.
The top links, parallel to the boom arms (above front tires) are part of the linkage for mechanical self leveling.

You might mean hydraulic self leveling that uses a valve in the dump/curl cylinders and only works in one direction. Mechanical self level is smooth, no jerky at all."Self leveling" is on some loaders. I don't like it because it's jerky, moving some distance then automatically adjusting the bucket. At least on my B21, it's not a continuous adjustment.

Not sure about anyone else's hydraulic self leveling loader, but mine is smooth as can be and can work in both directions if that is desired.
It dont really increase the range of travel, or the force at all. But what it does is allow a longer cylinder to be used, to gain greater travel, before the cylinder rod contacts the loader arm.
