Greetings,
I have been wondering as to why some loaders have flat steel attaching the distal end of the rollback hydraulics to both the distal loader arm and to the top of the SSQA and others pin directly to it with no attachment to the loader. I was looking at an L3240 with LA514 which did not have it but another with LA724 does while the L4600 w LA764 does not have it. Many of the bigger tractors seem to have them, but not all do. And it does not seem to be a function of loader size.
Is there a functional advantage to this additional attachment linkage ... possibly more lift since the rollback can get a load closer to the pins or does it stabilize something? I noticed on my l3800 when I was going to place a block of wood at the bent end of the SSQA to straighten it that I didn't have anything to hold the wood in place at the loader end.
Just a curiosity.
