I got my 5035 new with the ml130 about three mounths ago. first the tool carrier was twisted so that had to be replaced. The dealer took care of that. when I got the tractor back the bucket connected with no problems. But before the delivery man ( salesman) left I ask him to stay while I tried the pallet forks to make sure they fit, the left side would not lock down. So then the ball got dropped for about a week while my salesman was on trainning.
when he got back another two sets were ordered. once they came in I whent down and picked up the forks. that set also would not lock on the left side.
I went back down saturday morning and tried the third set. again the left side would not lock. the machanic on duty that morning took a diegrinder and inlarged the hole so the pin would lock down. it looks as if the jig at the plant was off just enough to not let the forks set on the tool carrier without inlarging the hole for the pin. so if you get a set of pallet forks make sure the pin seats all the way down into the oppening on the pallet forks
