I have a bx25 and the bucket sits on the ground on one side but not the other, it is about 1/2 in off. Can a hydraulic cylinder on the arm be the cause? You can get the bucket to sit level on the ground by forcing it with the hydraulics but you can see the right arm stops and the left goes just a bit more to bring the one side to the ground. Any ideas would be appreciated!

Sounds like either a bend loader arm or a bend sub frame

Hey just a quick question , how do you know the area on the ground is level? Ya know even a blacktop driveway is not level all over. Do you have a garage with a cement floor, bring tractor in and re-check level.

check your tire pressure, Rear pressure variation will definity cause this problem!
Ok, thanks all! Checked tire pressure all is fine there. The area that I put the bucket down on was level because I am a nut about quirky things like that and actually used a level. I know I am going to sound like a total jerk but is there anyway to tell if the arms are bent? And an even more stupid question, can someone tell me what makes up the sub frame and can you get a new one or am I done for?

Sorry about being so blunt about it earlier haha but is the tractor still under warranty? If so I would just have the dealer look at it. A dealer should be able to correct whatever is wrong with your loader with ease.

Sorry
I see that you have to force it with the hydraulics to get it better. My question is not necessary.
You could measure the 2 cylinders to see if they are both extended the same amount. To me a half inch isn't much. How wide is your bucket?
