Electronic bucket level Indicator, Now with Auto Level STOP Control

   / Electronic bucket level Indicator, Now with Auto Level STOP Control #11  
Oh, and that isn't just a cool hack, that's some nice machine & install work too. Great concept, design & implementation.

Just need to do the same thing for lift now. Have it drop to a foot or 2 off the ground so it's close to ready for the next scoop but not dragging. ;-)

Very clever and excellently executed, Waxman. I like it. Now you need to figure out how to tweak it a little up or down so that it repeats there.

Thank you, dsmiley
You mean have it stop on the up or down arrows also?
If that is what you mean, all I need to do is add a ground wire each to the up and down arrow sensors, then to a three way toggle switch on the dash. up , level, down. What ever position the switch is on that is what the light and bucket will stop on:thumbsup:

I can tell how I am doing by the size of dent in my hood. I have two tractors both with this modification. Seriously well thought out. In the Bobcat you actually get dirt in your lap.

I'm hoping your next project is a sensor/indicator for a backblade that reads out tilt, both relative to tractor and/or to absolute level.

Well, more of an arbitrary adjustment. If your up and down arrows are 1 inch from center that might be too much for something you are trying to do. It would be nice to be able to tweak it, like being able to slide the indicator rod some.
But we do these mods to suit ourselves, not all the readers of the threads and from what you've said this mod is exactly what you want. Nice job.

Seems like a lot of effort for minimal returns. The original mod gets you ready to work while backing up, transporting, or what not. Fine tuning an inch or so while getting ready to make a run into the pile isn't that hard or a distraction. You should probably manually or visually confirm your bucket is set right anyway rather than completely relying on an automatic system.
