Abstract: A self-leveling linkage assembly for maintaining a bucket in a level condition and for preventing the bucket from being rolled rearwardly beyond a predetermined maximum rollback position as the lift arm for the bucket is moved to an extreme raised position. The self-leveling linkage assembly includes a control arm rotatably mounted to a tractor frame at a location forwardly of the lift arm pivot, a position link connected between the control arm and bucket, a control valve for actuating a bucket cylinder, and a linkage connected between the control valve and a manually operable control handle. If the bucket rolls back beyond a predetermined position, the position link causes the control arm to rotate which in turn actuates the control valve for the bucket cylinder thereby rolling the bucket to a level position.
