[QUOTE=JackHerr;49726] Bojo,The self-leveling (SL) loader gives you a few things:* 300 lbs. more lift capacity for the 541 SL (lifting a load to full height)* 800 lbs. more breakout capacity for the 541 SL (digging ability at ground level)* Increased rollback at ground level (better bucket filling)* REDUCED SPILLING (the bucket keeps itself level throughout the full range of lift)The self-leveling feature can also been seen as sheet metal protection.Many folks have dented a clean, waxed tractor hood with an errant rock from an unsteady or ill-timed joysick movement.The self-leveling mechanical linkage on this Deere loader keeps the bucket in the same position that you left it in.You don't need to be constantly tipping the bucket forward with the loader joystick as you lift your bucket.The only cons to this feature (other than price) are:* Loss of visibility (More linkage on top of the loader frame)* Increased height.The height issue is rare but I am aware of a farmer who could not use a 541 with Mechanical Self Leveling when cleaning manure from his poultry house.The increase height of the linkage would contact the trusses of the building.I would buy the self-leveling option. No question.P. S. - There are several bucket options as well, but all of Deere's buckets will work with either the standard or self-leveling loader.Trust me,I know.Loader attachments are my job.

JackHerr - are you still active on this site? I have John Deere loader attachment compatibility questions if you do. Thanks in advance!
