I took a video, but I don't know how to insert it.

Really nice design & fabrication, Blue power. Looks a little like a rif on the Deere QA, but unique in how you made it remote operable. I assume you have 2 hooks on the top of the implement & 2 "ears" at the bottom. The bottom ears get pinned by the servo to lock the implement to the frame. Looks very light & strong - an ideal use of weight savings to conserve the FEL lift capacity. Hope you don't mind if I use your design as a basis for my own build?

I don't mind at all.

That looks like a ton of VERY well-designed work--AND it's motorized/remote control!

I couldn't tell from the pic of the Euro-setup you posted--are they remote-actuated also? But is the Euro's remote powered by hydraulic remotes?

I don't know what your "day job" is, but have you considered quitting it and taking orders? LOL (J/K).

I'd be interested to know the specs on the actuator - stroke, weight rating. Nice job!

It looks great! Is it fully Euro-compatible or a scaled-down version?

The big tractor loader locks with a hydraulic cylinder. I'm a farmer, I tinker large scale as well. Lol

4" stroke, 60pounds.

It's not compatible, but I have an adapter plate to fit full size Euro implements.

Thank you much obliged!

Very nice execution, simple and reliable looking. The best. Could you post a link to your actuator? Those of us with SSQA who have been messing with actuators probably wish we'd thought of this before going to the trouble of moving the two lever arms. (at least those of us who have modified conventional bucket/loader arms to be QA.)
