FEL bucket not level (Horizontally)

[brewdog]

I had a New Holland with that problem and the dealer told me to loosen all the Loader mounting frame bolts ( don’t remove the bolts) on a level surface then retighten the bolts after the loader frame is repositioned.

Your loader isn't crooked - when your machine was assembled at the factory in Korea it was made level. Since your tractor was imported, you are looking at it from a different latitude, so now it appears crooked. Import tariffs will fix your perception problem.

This procedure helps but sometimes it isn't enough. I had to put a piece of 4X4 under the bucket edge on the high side and lift the front of the tractor off the ground with the FEL mounting bolts loosened.

I then used a long socket extension to tighten the bolts without getting under the tractor.

Buy a MF product and be issue free.

Don’t you mean “low side”?

I don't understand why it matters what the tractor is parked on, level or not shouldn't matter.

I'd get a dependable baseline (frame, for example) and then compare to whatever the bubble, pointer, or digital readout, says at various points.

If somehow I couldn't find or fix the problem area, I'd be tempted to add material to the quick tach on the low side to make the bucket, forks, etc. level. Or maybe try tweaking the loader in the opposite direction.

Nah, not really. It shouldn't be hard to find the source of the problem. Fixing it correctly could be.

Not sure this will help, but I would cycle the loader all the way up and down several times, curl the bucket forward and back several times and hit float a few times. It costs nothing to try.
