Loader measurement on 4110

[joes_427_vette]

I'm starting to build a loader for the 4110. Could anyone get a measurement from the back verticle side of the bucket to the front tractor frame when the bucket is resting on the ground ? I want to keep it as close to the tractor as possible for better steering control. Also total length of the cylinders in the retracted position would be helpful. Thanks jr

Joe- I'll make the measurement for you. Is that the only measurement you need?

Thanks Bob;
I was bored yesterday and made a command decision setting it at 24". I cut some pieces for the upper loader frame and tacked them together. I should be close. I can always adjust on the bucket quick tach or cut by the upright rear stabalizers if needed. I wanted to get as close to the grille as possible for better steering control and lift capacity. Now I can continue fabing the bucket attachment while I wait for the plasma cut pieces i ordered for the frame mount.

Joe-
I have the following data for you. I have a 410 loader.
A. Bucket at full curl, resting on ground -Back of the bucket to front of the loader frame (sets in front of the tractor frame) - 8 inches.

B. Bucket Cylinder - full retract 24 1/8 inches pin center to pin center

C. Loader Arm Cylinder - full retract 21 3/8 inches pin center to pin center

I have some photos too if you need them, but I have to figure out how to post them

Here is a shot of my machine with roughly the same angle as your pic.

Here is a side shot with a tape measure showing the length of the loader arm.


Hope this helps

By viewing your pictures I may be a little too far away from the front frame when lifting the bucket. Like I have said the rear portion is not set in stone so it can be shortened if required. The lower angle on the 410 beam send the bucket out farther as it is lifted. My lower style gradually curved beams may require more space. Another good reason to work on the bucket and quick tach to complete one end . Measurements can be taken to justify the correct position. With a little give and take I'm sure it can be dialed in.
Saturday I finished welding the frame sections and ground the welds flat. I was amazed how close they matched.
Thanks for the informative pictures. It is so much easier than running back and forth to the dealer and forgetting what actually was needed.
