I don't know that on a day to day difference that the 100lbs or so differnce would ever be really noticed on a loader. The convience of it diefinitly will be.

Actually, you will notice some difference, especially breakout force. The QA attachment moves the bucket farther forward of the pivot pin, reducing the leverage exerted by the hydraulic cylinders. All aspects of loader operation will be reduced somewhat, except for overall height. The most noticeable decreases will be in breakout and curl.
As Rat stated in a previous post (read previous post from Rat), the bucket is moved 6" farther forward. I have not actually measured it, I will take his measurement as fact. The QA option coupled with the 4 way control valve could make for some interesting combinations on the loader arms, like a power angling plow or a hydraulic post hole digger!!

No question Art. I had debated on it and even though I did not get it, it had everything to do with not needing to change buckets or implements. I also figure that as handy as I am with welding, I could always purchase a bracket to attach to my exisitng non QA bucket. For most folks, I would certainly recommend it if they are even slightly interested in the ability to swap out loader implements. I saw a 4N1 on a L3130, it was a large 4N1 and with the QA, it certainly looked, and as the dealer mentioned probably not going to help the loaders lift ability by pushing the 4N1 another 6" or so out.
On the other hand, if you using the 4N1 for junk removal, I'd sacrifice smaller loads for the super convenince the 4N1 offers. Then, if you need to move a bunch of dirt for example, it's a snap to swap out the 4N1. The QA, a great idea.
