NH 1720 tips dangerously to the right even on level ground. It is a 4WD with a FEL. Problem started a few months back when operating on wet ground while moving hay rounds but has gotten worse to the point that left rear wheel has come off the ground. Now it happens even when there is no load on the loader. Any thoughts on where the problem could be? Wheel, differential, axle? Front axle is on a center pivot pin and there is no discernable leakage or disconnected parts. Thanks! Any help is welcome.

Astounding! Unnaturally twisted. Need pics.

Seeing tractor design I have a really hard time understanding your problem.... Maybe tire pressure is about only thing other than bad load balance in FEL...

Might try wheel spacers to widen the rear track for more stability...

Check to see if you have cracked frame as a result of picking up the hay rounds.

It would be very interesting to see a video of both sides with this happening.

I would be inclined to maintain a comfortable distance from that tractor.

Agree with previous comments. I would be inclined to check the loader frame.

You mention that it happens with no load. Does that mean it happens just driving straight on level ground or are you maybe making a hard turn. If this happens just driving straight on level ground then I can't even imagine a cause. Do you have a dealer close that you could discuss this with?
