Brand new bx2380. Has about 15 hours on it. Just removed the fel about a week ago, for the 1st time. Just spent about 1.5 hours trying to get it back on. I'm doing it inside my garage, which is about as level as i can get. The left side will hook up, but the right isn't anywhere close.
The more i look at it, looks like the right support arm, that stays attached to the tractor, is bent out to the right. Will post a pic of both sides, you all tell me if I'm seeing things.
I will say, the day i signed the papers, i had the salesman take it off for me. He laughed, said he didn't know how and got a service tech to do it. Inside their service bay area, it took 3 guys about 20 minutes to get it off and on. They said it was new, it would get easier, their floor wasn't level...
Now I'm thinking i should have refused this tractor till i could be shown the easy on/off operation of the fel. That a huge selling point of the bx 80 series and one of the reasons i bought it. I guess i was blinded by new tractor fever.
The 1st pic is the left support arm, which is lined up perfectly and everything comes together and sits as it should. The 2nd pic, the right side, it never seats as it should. These pics are taken as i pull into the loader arms, before i start the process.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Any ideas?
