It's been my (40+ years) experience that bucket leveling indicators aren't used much. Asking an owner if they wanted to fix or replace one usually got "Scrap it". .Lower the loader in float while curling the bucket in. Take it off float when it's all the way down and start rolling the bucket out. When the bucket starts to lift the loader arms you're level. Or try the modern method - mount a backup cam to the front of your tractor..

I guess its all what you get used too. I prefer to use the indicator myself but that's just me. My next video is actually installing a touchscreen and rear camera. Should be up next Friday. Thanks for the comment!

That's exactly how to cut that pipe on the bucket level indicator, good job. I'm going to checkout those lights.

I appreciate the idea. Thanks again. it is night and day difference.

I don't if you could pull off this up-grade, but I would like to place camera just below the roof, center front and a small screen monitor in the cab for visibility to the loader forks, bucket and grapple. It sure would increase productivity. Maybe you would have to place the camera on the elbow of the loader boom. If you could pull that off it would be great. I have the Bobcat CT5545 (Kioti 45 HP with cab)with a cab. I think a kit like that would sell. ...by the way, you're doing a great job. Thanks

Thats kinda crazy you mentioned that. My next video is going to be replacing the stock radio with a touchscreen and a rear camera for attachments. I believe you can add a front camera too. I should have that video up in the next week or so. All the parts showed up last week.

Looks like a great idea on the diagonal cut for the bucket level indicator. So I think I'd take the talking over the shorts in case your doing a pole......🤣🤣(probably shouldn't say pole....🤣) Much nicer to have the lights all the same color, something I need to do as well.

The "baloney slice" on the bucket level indicator tube was standard on the Ford Compacts circa 1980.

I am going to do the slice, but I am also going to remove the tube and mill small segmented windows it. (Small so you can't get your fingers in them) and paint the rod red or orange.

I thought about painting the tip as well. The metal on the rod and the sleeve are the same so it can be hard to see it sometimes.

All nice mods. Well done. I have chosen to leave the headlights in my L2501 Kubota stock as I leave loader on. With the loader on they are shining the back of the bucket more than anything else. I do have a led light bar up on the rops and that makes a huge difference. I like the before and after shots that you did. Great job.

Thanks I appreciate it. Those led light bars are amazing. I agree with the headlights. They really dont do a whole lot of good with the loader on. Thanks for the comment.

a machine operator i know told me to spray paint on the rod and not cut it... then you can still have the whole rod, and maybe spray different colors as it gets close to level....

You may want to put some white, yellow, or red paint on the end so you can see it quicker!!!

One of my tractor's has a bucket level indicator rod on it and the other tractor does not but I found out. That the more you use your machine you will get used to where the bucket is you will not even worry about a bucket level indicator that's actually a waste of money I think. Nothing feet practice and experience running gear machine
