Are there factory stops for the rollback?
Cant really see them in the pic. But it still looks like the cylinder has a few more inches to retract

As it nears complete rollback the speed will increase and power will decrease. But I think the operator will get accustomed to that.
Nice work!!!
Anxious to hear how it works!!!

Just to update:
Was able to get everything welded up and finished putting loader back on the tractor yesterday. This morning we needed to put clean sawdust in the stalls, generally this takes 2 full buckets due to the limited rollback with the self-leveler. I was able to get enough to do all the stalls with one bucket. I am very satisfied with the results but have one regret and that is, I wish I would have done this years ago when I first realized that the self-leveler had no real value ad for the type of work that I do. Thanks for all of the first-rate suggestions and insight that most of you provided to help me step back and think through the process.

Good to hear that this worked out for you, Boss 302, as you put a lot of thought and fabwork into the project!
I ran across this interesting video on Deere's Industrial "Powerllel lift" self leveling system. No, it doesn't have a lot to do with this thread other than "self-leveling". The comment about the conventional z-bar self leveling cylinder reducing the breakout force makes me wonder if, on a conventional mechanical self leveling loader, does the fact that it is trying to tilt the bucket down during breakout, actually reduce the breakout force? (Sorry for the long sentence)
P.S. I initially thought that powerllel was a miss-spelling of parallel.
