[QUOTE="TriHonu, post: 47777, member: 897"] Not all buckets are manufactured with the mounting brackets at the same height. The newer machines with the universal quicktach seem to be set at close to the same height. When you have larger tires or over the tire tracks (OTT) it will raise the loader and the bucket will not set flat on grade. You can buy buckets with the mounts set higher to compensate for the higher ride height. Having the bucket set flat on grade will make it much easier to cut an accurate grade. If the cutting edge is always tipped down your machine will tend to dive into the cut and continue to cut deeper. You will try to correct by lifting the cutting edge and the result will be a series of speed bumps. Things will get worse as your tires drive over them lift and drop the cutting edge. If you plan to use the bucket for grading I would cut the mounts and move them up so the bucket will set level on grade. [/QUOTE]
