Loader Unlevel bucket

If it is a manufacturer defect then the TYM branded machines should have the same defect.

One would think.

Does TYM use the same loader and mounts ?? Or is RK using a different loader brand.

I'm not sure. I looked at the owners manual that came with the loader and I could find no reference as to who it was manufactured by.

This problem is not uncommon after hard use. It IS uncommon to be delivered new to the owner with this condition.

As someone mentioned above, has nothing to do with cylinders. Frame issue.

Ovrszd, Im' not doubting it could be a frame issue but I do know that my problem isn't due to hard use. I noticed the problem the first time I was scooping up dried horse manure from a pile to add it to a compose pile, The max weight would have been 150 lbs max. If 150 lbs is hard use then this machine sucks. When I was trying to scoop it up is when I noticed that the left side of the bucket was digging down into the ground about 1 1/2 to 2 inches deeper that the right side. The tractor rep at the store is the one that suggested cylinders being mismatched.

Not surprising. His job is to sell tractors not work on them.

A common denominator in this whole thing is the assembly location. I'd bet there is an issue with how the loader frames are aligned and tightened when installing them on the tractors. These were all assembled in either the Ohio or Florida service/assembly points after importing. It doesn't take much movement (misalignment) at a mounting point to reflect an inch or two difference at the bucket. It could be as simple as the order the bolts are tightened, if they are all tightened gradually, or how the frame is supported while assembling, to get a loader frame mounted square.

Agree. (See post #2)

I was told by the one of the people at our local RK that the loaders/BH's and 3-Point implements are made by King Kutter- I have no way to validate this.
