Skid steer loader lift linkage assembly

A work machine, comprising:

• a frame and a ground engaging mechanism, the ground-engaging mechanism adapted to support the frame;
• a work tool coupled to the frame, the work tool operably controlled to perform a work function;
• a boom arm pivotally coupled to the work tool, the boom arm configured to move the work tool from a first position to a second position along a lift path;
• an upper link pivotally coupled at one end to the frame and at an opposite end to the boom arm, where the upper link is pivotally coupled to the boom arm at a first location;
• a lower link pivotally coupled at one end to the frame and at an opposite end to the boom arm, where the lower link is pivotally coupled to the boom arm at a second location;
• and
• a hydraulic actuator pivotally coupled at one end to the frame and at an opposite end to the boom arm, where the hydraulic actuator is pivotally coupled to the boom arm at a third location;
• wherein, the first location and second location are spaced from one another by a first distance, the second location and third location are spaced from one another by a second distance, and the first location and third location are spaced from one another by a third distance;
• wherein, the first distance is at least twice the third distance;
• wherein, the second distance is at least twice the third distance.
