LA211 BX2200 Loader Attachment Help Please!!!

[rixtory]

I was trying to re-attach my LA211 loader and the ground was very soft. I could not get the loader lined up right and I ended up digging the loader into the soft ground and the loader arms are now stretched way out from the loader. I had to lift the arms and have my wife back the tractor up after disconnecting teh hydro lines. (the loader arms were were resting on the front tires) - I got everything detached, but now I cannot put the loader back on the tractor as the arms are too low and the bucket is tilted forward into the ground. I have tried to muscle the laoder arms back, but to no avail. I am sure this has happened to someone before ?? Is there anyway to get the bucket to tilt back and get the loader arms back up into position, without attaching to the tractor??
Thank you .....

I did that once also, but not as badly as you have it. The braces dug into the mud and I was able to get one side back on. That was almost worse. I was afraid to jockey it around for fear of bending something. I couldn't get the 2nd side lined up. I had to use a long crowbar and slowly moved the tractor around to finally get it attached. Do you have a jack around to push it back up? Maybe you can get a piece of 2x6 under the ends and then make another stab at it. A tree branch to allow you to winch it back up? I have vowed to myself to never detach again off the concrete. Good luck!

Pull your bx up along side the loader so they are facing opposite directions and the hydraulic hook ups are on the same side as the hoses. Attach the hoses and use the hydraulics to correct the orientation of the loader bucket and arms.

I did something similar. I curled the bucket up and placed bricks under it and tilted the bucket forward. It took several attempts but I got it back on. I to will never take my FEL off again unless it is on concrete.

Chris, LOL.... I thought of that a few hours ago. The loader is in front of our dog kennel, but I think I can just back up next to it and connect up... Thank you !!!!
Thank you everyone.

I have some old PT 2x12's that I think I will bolt together as a platform for the future.
