Roll Over Linkage - Some help plz

[woodlandfarms]

OK, so JJ brought something up and I want to make sure...

On my rollover link, there is a short side and a long side. My tractor is set up with the long side facing down.

I remember someone getting a PT and it being backward, but now I am wondering if all of my rollover issues are due to the fact that mine is on wrong.

Okedoke. Moving on. Geometry is good, abuse is bad. I get it ;-)

The new cylinder is working OK, but dumping doesn't happen steep enough so the buckets somethimgs has to be hand cleaned.

It will get me through the summer, this fall we will get new custom cylinders made.

Carl,

Can you take some pictures from the side with the bucket tilted up, and all the way down?
How many attachments do you have, and do they all work OK?

The backward rollover assembly was probably mine, No directions with it, and it was a substitute for the one they discontinued. Some times I use an adjustable top link for certain jobs, to achieve the dump angle I need. For heavier loads, I use the solid bar.

Will do...

Did you notice on the green machines the long arm is up and on the red machine the long arm is down on the roll over linkage?
