Kubota tractor front loader hydraulic issues

[rcbor187]

So I came back last monday to find the tractor in need of repair or diagnosis. When switching from forks to bucket the two hydraulic cylindars seem to be not in sync with each other. It almost seems like something is bent. I do notice that when Im standing and looking at the front , comparing the two hydraulic shafts, one is extended farther out then the other.

I spoke to the dealer and they said I could try draining the entire hydraulic system, in hopes to sync the two front cylindars.
This seems like an awful lot of work.

Was hoping someone with more experience can chime in and let me know what they think.

Thanks

the issue is with the quick connect feature.

Some dealers don't have any common sense. Draining hyd oil won't get bucket cylinders into synchronization but gently placing quick tach bracket(if applicable) against something solid & putting a little pressure on the cyl that is most extended one can easily even the rod length of both cylinders.

In the same vein if you get square with an immovable object with your quick attach then curl it down so that the side with cylinder more extended is contacting it solidly then curl it more till the other side makes contact you should be squared up again.
We are saying the same thing just in different ways.:thumbsup:
