Bucket hits right side first....

[CMV]

I noticed that when I let the bucket down, the right side always hits first. Didn't think much of it and assumed uneven ground. But had it on my concrete driveway and noticed there too. Just too make sure, I turned around and faced the other direction and same thing. I also checked and adjusted tire pressure thinking that was #2 suspect. It's not by much, but the right side hits, and then for the bucket to be flat on the ground, it will raise the left of the tractor a bit. Probably about an inch difference right to left. Is that normal? Is it anything to care about?

No not normal. Check the timing bar if it has it. Should be level

Sounds like a tweaked/racked loader frame.

Mine was the same, and I checked the tires and the frame but they were good. Turned out my bucket had a slight twist which I corrected with some force using the tractor.

My Massey Ferguson was the same way. I ended up loosening the mount bolt to the frame on level concrete and lowering the bucket. The mount shifted just a bit. I tightened it all back down, and was good to go. Never had a problem again.

looks like my loader does the same thing, didn't investigate it much but noticed it last night when putting my tractor back in the garage.

Like others have noted your FEL Frame is probably racked. Perhaps you can try putting a block under far right end of your bucket then slowly try to lift the front of tractor with loader.

Do this several times then back up and lower bucket, to a flat surface, and see if you have improved your situation.

Ill take attachment off so its just the frame and investigate tonight.

I didn't take off bucket and look that way, but yes, that's pretty much what I experience with bucket on. Like left side is maybe an inch higher and to have bucket flat on ground some weight comes up off left front tire like that.
