Loader 1025r Loader not level

[davem42]

I noticed that my FEL did not set correctly on level ground, so I took some measurements. One side of the loader is 3/4" higher that the other so I called the dealer to come get it. They took some measurements, swapped some parts then checked the other 8 1025r with loaders on their lot. They all had the same problem, most were off by 1 to 2 inches the worst was off by 3 inches. They called John Deere and opened a issue with the manufacture. That was 6 weeks ago, haven't heard a thing back from them yet.

I am wondering if anyone else has noticed that their FEL does not sit right on their tractor. On most you can notice it just from sitting in the seat and raising the loader.

I think anything under 1/2" is probably acceptable. But off by 2-3" ??? That doesn't even seem physically possible unless something is really jacked up, like a bent arm or sloppy mount arms or really awful install.
