All - just powered up the machine and noticed that the quick attach was not engaging - seems like it is getting caught up on the hydraulic arm. See Picture - Didn't know I'd have to go wrenching so quickly :). Noticed this prior to putting any attachment on it.

Thoughts?

Does it operate to full-stroke with no implement on the QA?

Oh, I see. The end of the ball joint hits the stop before it can engage the locking tooth all the way down, correct?

Left side engages fully, right side hits the end of the ball joint. Does the same with or w/o attachments. Everything appears correct.

Could you file off a little of the stop so the ball joint could go past? Is this a new machine? It looks real clean.

I looked at mine and the stop is much higher. I cannot seem to post pictures.

So I measured and they are both the same - the picture before gave the impression that the right was lower.

Yep - has 1 hour on it :) - I wanted to figure this out before I celebrated my new toy.

Make sure there's not a pebble or burr under that right latch that isn't going down. I've had rocks get in there before. It's worth a look.
