Abstract: A bucket tilt mechanism that allows the lateral tilting of a loader bucket in addition to vertical tilting. The lateral tilting of the bucket is achieved by the actuation of one of two hydraulic cylinders, each of which are attached to a bucket bracket and one of two loader support arms. A pivotal connection between the bucket bracket and a bar extending transversely between the loader support arms, and a central linkage arm which is comprised of three sub-arms, enable the bucket to tilt laterally responsive to the actuation of the hydraulic cylinders about the pivotal connection.
