Quick connect problem with FEL

[Citrus breeze]

When I took of my brush rake from my kubota 2800, I noticed that the forward hydraulics extend differently. Now I can,t mount my FEL! The quick connect couplers don't line up.

How can I correct this problem?

Those cylinders are teed together so pushing on (retracting) the one that is extended more should extend the other. You might need a bar or something to get enough leverage to move it, or use an object to push it against. Your bucket may work to equalize it, it does on my Westendorf loader.

Thanks for the idea. I'll give it a try!

I'm a little confused as to what you are saying: "...forward hydraulics extend differently..." Do you mean the FEL settled and is leaning? If it's leaning to the either side, you'll have to jack it up somehow so you can drive into the FEL.

Once close, you hook up the hydraulics and use them to make adjustments to mount it. A photo of the problem would be great... :thumbsup:

I'm new to this forum as well as new to FEL(front end loaders). On the Kubota L2800, there are two quick connect pads that catch the device you want to hook up. I'm talking about the hydraulics pistons that control the "tilt" of those pads. One side extends out further than the other which makes one quick connect pad rest higher and further back than the other.

Does that help? If not, I could post a picture when I take the "rake" off soon.

Thanks for the reply!
