[QUOTE="TriHonu, post: 90531, member: 897"]   I measured the Quick-Tach on my 763. It is on pavement with a near new set of tires. With the Quick-Tach curled all the way back, the top of the Quick-Tach is further to the rear of the loader than the front by 3.6 degrees. The "Distance to Ground" you reference is not clear to me. If the drawing was the bucket side of the connection, I measured 6.5 inches. If you are drawing the loader Quick-Tach, wouldn't you want the distance to the lower side of the bottom strap? Buckets are manufactured with varying pan (bottom) to back angles. This angle determines how much you can curl the bucket to minimize spillage of loose materials. Fertilizer buckets tend to have smaller angles. This allows the bucket maximum curl so the pellets can fill the maximum struck volume of the bucket. If you are fitting to an existing bucket you want the arms all the way down and the tires somewhat loaded down. In this position, the pan of the bucket should sit flat on the grade. If the heel of the bucket is high, the bucket will want to dive into the cut when you are trying to cut to grade. This makes grading much more difficult. If the heel is low, you will have to lift the arms when cutting grade. This puts addition stress on the arms since most loaders have a stop when the arms are all the way down. The stop helps support the arms when you are loading the bucket. The height of the Quick-Tach mounting plate also varies from bucket to bucket. I have never measured but I suspect that each manufacturer sets the height according to the height of their loaders. I have also seen buckets that have the Quick-Tach plate set higher on the bucket to compensate for the increased loader height when you install a set of tracks. [/QUOTE]
