need help with BX1500 and BX1800 FEL dimensions

[aardvark]

Part of the reason I designed the first quick change the way I did, was because I could hang forks off the top tube, making the quick change double as the structure for the loader assembly.

new loader assembly, roughly 90 lbs, and can carry a little over 700 lbs at 24" out from the pivot pins.

edit - 700 lbs out 24" from the pivots should be way more than the BX's capacity, that's why it's designed so light.

rootrake and grapple. No hydraulics are on it yet, I still need to choose a lightweight inexpensive cylinder. Weight as it is now is about 135 lbs, which is heavier than I wanted, so I need to make some changes.
