On my 2310 is the Bulldog 285 FEL. The way the cylinders are attached the loader will not roll back to even level with the ground when the loader is on the ground. If the cylinders would retract more it would roll back more. The cylinder rods do not retract completely but I believe this is because the cylinder rods are too long. I am contemplating cutting them to shorten them and then rewelding the ends back on. If I were to detach the distal ends of the cylinders I could pull on them and roll the loader back about 10 more degrees.

Don't know what you were going on to say but here is my old 2002D with 285 loader and cylinders all the way in.
