[QUOTE="Slat26, post: 140503, member: 26482"] Hey all, I'm new here. I have a technical question pertaining to bucket and other attachment design. I work at a fab company and my boss has tasked me with researching the standardization (or lack thereof) of buckets industry wide. Having grown up in the seats of various equipment brands I know enough to realize that swapping buckets between OEMs will work but they don't always perform optimally. Then there are those frustrating cases--Bobcat owners!--with an attached implement and you can't even get out of the cab because the boom won't go the whole way down. Other than width and capacity, I've narrowed what I believe to be the most essential dimensions for proper fitment down to the three shown in the image below. The bucket tilt [B]pin height[/B]s appear to vary across manufacturers which in turn effect the[B] height to the top of the quick coupler[/B]. Brands also have varying ranges of tilt forward/back capacity and are effected by the [B]bucket back angle[/B]. Variances in these measurements can effect how well a bucket works with a given machine. In my searching, all I have found as far as standardization is concerned is the quick attach plate connection (I think[B] ISO 24410[/B]).[COLOR=rgb(226, 80, 65)] Are there others?[/COLOR] That all said, my questions are these: [LIST] [*]Are there any rules of thumb that you follow in regards how high you place quick attach plates to your implements? [*]Rules of thumb on the bucket back angle? [*]Have you found a bucket design that works well across all skidsteer brands (and ctls) [/LIST] Any advice/input will save this guy a lot of legwork, and it might become a great resource for this community! Thanks [ATTACH type="full"]8188[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
