FEL bucket tilt

[sos1]

Does anyone know the stroke length needed to operate a 15"x15"x 36"
bucket using the shortest stroke practical. The cylinder I have has a 7 1/2"
stroke. I've looked at different linkages to increase the distance moved but
I'd prefer to just have a direct connection if possible.

The closer the push point to the base line or hinge, the shorter the stroke, and a faster curl. Stroke could be very small. The more separated those points, the slower the curl, but more force is realized.

If you have to use that particular cyl, just attach it to the base, and rotate the bucket for the amount of curl you want and then weld on some mounting lugs..
