Sure. But the limiting factor is how much less curl can you live with? Increasing the
moment arm (distance betw the force and the pivot) multiplies your force, but the
range of motion is less.
Also note that increasing your breakout force this way will also put a greater induced load
on your loader boom and its hyd cylinders.
I understand what you're saying on range of motion, but I would think the opposite would be true in regard to stress on the machine. It would seem like the loader cylinder, arms, and hydraulics would actually be working easier with a higher pivot point... Less resistance during the curl motion, compared with having it low on the quick attach plate.
