Could you elaborate on as to why your two pulling clevises (at the bucket arch front) are located in the bottom position rather than the top? Is it merely to make the teeth more or less aggressive? Is there any other reason? It does seem like your bucket isn’t loosing much slop out the front while swinging to the truck.
In the upper position it makes it more aggressive for digging. Downfall is in harder ground it tends to ride on its nose until you get some material in the bucket for weight and tends to want to dig to much when running a slope in soft ground. We normally leave in the bottom for most purposes.
Thanks for your great video!! Excellent close up! 👍🏽
