Anybody bent one besides me ? My DL250 loader holds the bucket about 2" lower on one side than on the other. Investigation with the bucket off shows the loader itself is skewed low on one side by that amount. No welds broken, no paint cracked, no loose bolts, all pins are in right place, no clue where the bend might be. Cannot find a bent member. Looked everywhere and so did a dealer. It was NOT this way when delivered in April 2011. Apparently I used max lift while using 4wd and max push at the same time and bent the loader frame somehow. [A root or big log or boulder -- some immovable object.]
One theory (by dealer A) is to go try the same thing on the opposite side and "unbend" it which is cheap to try. The other theory (by dealer B) is that I might just do further damage, so the reverse bending is risky ... Opinions ?
Am I the only 2660 owner out there in ByNet land ? Notice there are NO other 2660 posts !
