Max Lifting Height
Current lifting height is measured from the the ground to the bottom of the QA plate in the neutral forward facing position when the arms are in the full up position.
115" was chosen as that height allows clearance for when the soil pulverizer is dumping soil into the hopper of the CEB Press.
