great video, wonderful explanation. i need to design a retrofitted front end loader for a garden tractor in my mechanical drives course and this was very helpful, thanks!
great stuff. Couldn't tell where I was going wrong, but I was drawing my hydraulic press sliding joins in the middle of the long link so I had negative mobility from too many revolute joints. Thanks!
Shouldn't the 12th Link not be included since it merely goes to a point of interest and in Grubers equation, links are connected by a minimum of two joints?
Link 12, the bucket component, is connected to two links. Joint M connects to link 7 and join N connects to link 11. Point of interest is then on the other side of the bucket where the tips of the teeth would be located.
