I had the tractor on a flat concrete drive today, known to be level. I noticed that one edge of the bucket contacts the ground first (about 1 to 2 inches (eyeballed from seat) before the other) Is there a way to adjust level across the bucket.

I did check the dimensions of insert into the quick connect and both appear to be equal there. In other words not out of alignment that I can measure.

While there I did get my box blade leveled out back. That crank handle is sweet on the 3 point leg. Neighbor who has a Kubota was jealous. :laughing:

Thanks again - Keith

I don't think there is a way to adjust that. I would check tire air pressure first though.

First check for equal tire pressure as mentioned. Both fronts equal & both rear tires as well. At squating rear tire can through it off too.
If pressures are OK, it could be in the loader mounting masts where they bolt to the frame.
Lower set the bucket so it is flat with the floor then push the joystick into float. Then loosen all the bolts on both masts to the frame to see if it will settle down flat on both ends. You might have to rock the masts a little or even put slight amount of down pressure with the loader hydraulics.
Be sure to retorque the bolts correctly and recheck them after a few hours use.

PS: Don't forget the bolt that's hidden inside that round hole in the mast frame.

Thanks SSdoxie

I will probably get to this once I get a new tool..the torque wrench:laughing::thumbsup:

Tire pressures are good - I'll also be checking with the dealer as this should have been set correctly by them,
