[AT] My New Toy

[Larry D. Goss]

OK, H. L. and all you other experts; I have a question -- why do
manufacturers place the bucket of their FEL so far out in front of the
front wheels?  Kioti isn't alone in doing this, and I am curious about
it.  Placing the bucket that far forward makes the mechanical advantage
"wrong" for good traction with a loaded bucket, so you have to have more
counterbalance weight than if the whole thing was close-coupled.
Obviously, you can get a higher dump height and more reach with the
bucket to get a load over the middle of a pickup truck bed, but is there
some other reason for designing them the way they do?

Seriously it looks like a nice rig.  I've seen some of them around here
but
