As the title says, my FEL bucket is not level. Any ideas? Thanks.

Same here, but low on left side. Very aggravating when you're doing precise work.



I negated the problem by loosening the bolts, putting down pressure on the left side, and re-tightening. It helped about 1/2". Over-inflating my left front tire helped a little more, but it's not perfect.

The way the front loader is designed, if the mounting holes and pins are off even 1/32", you can easily end up with a 1" difference in height on a 6' bucket. The way large metal weldments warp and deform, it's understandable to have the problem, so I didn't hold it against Kubota.

Front axles on a pivot. Front tire pressure wont affect tractor lean enuf to detect on a tape measure.

I belive im having a similar problem with my LA 304FEL. I first noticed it the first time I removed the loader.The tractor is under a year old only 26hours. The pin on the left side was very hard to remove. I had to use a pair of channel locks to remove it. I put the loader on last night for some cleanup work. I had the same problem of gettting the one pin on the left side to go in. had to use a block of wood to hit it in. I noticed when working the right side piston is bottoming out first when the loader is fully extendend. Indicating to me that something out wack. I can notice the left side is lower than the right when doing precise work.

I have read many post about hooks and chains jacks ect. I inspected the sub frame last night and noticed some of bolts lock washers are not fully compresed. I suppose the sub frame could be out some. I dont belive I have tweak the loader arms. I havent done any real heavy work. My loader is not out bad but its enough to bother me.

What would you guys check next? My thoughts are loosen the sub frame bolts and lower the loader at the level position and hope maybe there is some slop in the holes and maybe everything will go back into place?

If this doesnt resolve anything should i take it to the dealer? is this something covered under KTAC coverage?
