Resolving self leveling dislike

[Xfaxman]

If I were in this situation I would modify the bale spear for more roll back.

And after seeing the pictures I would also modify the bucket for more roll back.

Thanks guys for the suggestions, I use the level indicator all the time also it comes in handy. I gotta say with that angle it's hard to keep things from falling out.

So I dont think you ever answered. Is that the OEM bucket? If not what does the oem bucket rollback look like?

It isn't an OEM bucket but the OEM one isn't any better.

Yes that would be frustrating. Looking at this image the linkages (yellow) are almost perfectly straight. I do not think you would get any meaningful increase in curl angle by shortening anything above this linkage. If it were me I would experiment with moving the linkage pin on the mount. Maybe you could pull the pins out and lift the bucket to the desired curl angle and see where the linkage would end up at?

Using your theory, the links in your pic that connect the bucket to the end of the curl cylinders could be shortened

 

[LittleBittyBigJohn]

True, but I think it would require a "negative angle" on that link at full curl. It would be on the wrong end of mechanical advantage and it might not have the oomph to get the last few degrees. I suspect that the link and the cylinder being in line, straight, is going to be the most curl you are going to get. Using that assumption is why I drew the pivot a little more outboard on the SSQA frame.

I could be wrong about that though. Once I was wrong, I think my wife has it in her calendar .

Positively!!!!

Sounds like you should be able to twerk the linkage to help with your issues. Or keep your lifts very low to the ground so it curls back much farther.

Oh, I don't think I would do that...
