Hey all,
I just picked up my first tractor yesterday and I'm pretty excited to put this thing to work! I got a real sweet deal on a Kioti CS2410 with FEL. I spend about 2 hours at the dealership going through all of the operation and maintenance items and took it for a spin around the lot. After towing it 70 miles home and giving it a much closer once over in the safety of my garage, I noticed that one side of my bucket sat about 1/2 higher than the other side. I started by checking some simple items like air pressure in the tires, and measurements from from my floor to the pivot pins and everything seemed to check out. When I step on the corner of my bucket that is sitting higher, I can see my loader and tractor moving to compensate for the difference seen in the picture. I then though I could loosen the 4 bolts on the loader frame(shown in the yellow circle and red arrow) and use my floor jack to lift the low side of the loader to compensate for the high side of the bucket. I loosened them up and put the jack to it. It moved, but it moved the whole tractor, not just the mount.
Soooo....long story short I have a few questions. Should I even be worried about this? I am planning on putting a Piranha Tooth Bar on and doing some digging in the spring for an above ground pool, and to dig out a foundation for a patio. Will this cause me to have issues? Would this bother anyone else? If I should try and fix it, what else should I try to level it out? I'll give my dealer a call in the morning to see if they have any input, but as helpful as this forum has been so for I thought I would throw it out there. My closest dealer is 70 miles away so I don't really want to load it up and drive it back if I don't have too.
Any input on this matter would be greatly appreciated!
