Anyone have global/euro on their front end loader?

[notslow]

I just bought a euro adapter to install on my 580C, but it needs pin brackets for my loader welded on. Does anyone have a global/euro setup on a loader that can give me some info about position of the system?

I'm trying to figure out angle of adapter when loader is set to level bucket and height of adapter when bucket is level and on the ground.

I found a drawing online that shows 10 degrees.
I also found a reference to ISO 23206 standard that calls for 25degree backsheet angle.

My goals are:
To keep bucket as close to the original position as possible, so that I don't change lift capacity or bucket angles.

Keep the "bucket level" indicator correct.

Be able to use pre-made attachments without the angle being off.

Looks like buckets should be 25 degrees, but pallet forks seem to be 0-10 degrees. So the level indicator won't work for both. Maybe I can fab up a secondary indicator for forks.

I'll have to look at my euro attachments, I want to say they are almost "0"

I found another photo of a bucket. Looks like 25 degrees, roughly.

Here's a picture of the iso standard for global attach buckets.

I looked up pallet forks and they all seem to be straight up.

I guess with the adapter on loader angled forward with bucket indicator at level, you would lose some tilt back with forks or any other straight up and down attachment. This may be okay with forks, as I probably wouldn't have enough tilt back to dump anything in my lap.

What I have ranges from 0 degrees to leaning forward slightly, i.e. 10-15 degrees.

I have my bucket level indicator set for material bucket, it isn't accurate with the others so factory stuff does vary.

Did you install an adapter on your machine or did it come with the global attach? I'd be curious to know the tractor pin centers to global rod centers distance.

Factory global. Tractor pin centers are close compared to the global.

Thanks for the info, I guess the main thing is that there is enough rollback without too much.
