    Gotcha! Still would be cool to have “tractor” tires ;-)

    Update on my L2501.

    So since I’m a small tractor newb, need some solid advice on the possible bent loader issue.

    First they removed the bucket, it was fine.

    Then they looked at the quick attachment, and that was fine.

    Next up they pulled the loader off and the mounts, they said it could have “slipped” a little. They assured me it didn’t.

    Then they looked at the tractor tires and said it was tire pressure causing the bucket to tilt. When I got the tractor, it had 30 psi in the rear and 40 psi up front. When I took it in, I made damn sure to check tire pressures. 40 up front and 24 psi in the rear for traction.
    This is what is confusing me a little. They adjusted tire pressure to level bucket. Now I’m no expert, but I guess tractor tires are sometimes not very close in size....and one side might be worn more than the other. Any truth to this? I guess it could be. Maybe I need to rotate rear tires...which would suck with beet juice inside. Normally, I am in 4wd, so tired don’t spin a lot.

    Do that’s the update on my Kubota. Guess I’ll run up in the snow today and tow it home...then plow my driveway. Lol

    I’ve never known tractor tires to wear unevenly, if you checked the pressure and they were the same it should’ve been level. Interesting stump on this one.

    Do you have a flat, truly level surface (concrete slab, etc) that you can use to do a true test?
    1) With the bucket on, lower it to the concrete and see if there's an edge/corner that touches first.
    2) With the bucket off, lower the lift arms and see if one touches first.
    2-A) If no, the problem probably lies with your bucket itself. See if it rocks from side to side when it's off the loader assembly.
    2-B) If yes, measure the axle clearance to the floor on both left and right, front and rear. If the measurements are the same from on both sides of each axle, the problem lies with your loader frame. If the measurements are different, the issue is tire size/OD related.

    And we are back. That was a snowy/icy mess.

    I will definitely try these measurements. It’s better...from what I have seen so far.

    In my garage it sure doesn’t look level when lowering the bucked.

    in my driveway sideways, the bucket sets down perfectly. Weird.

    But is it? Like, does it touch down more or less flat, or on one edge/corner first?

    Edit-- I must have missed it, what led you to suspect something being bent in the first place? Pins not lining up for the quick connect?

    the top pin mount on the loader is spreading. That I can see with the naked eye. I have some ideas to get it back and brace it up.

    Ah.

    I've honestly never been too impressed with the 'universal skid-steer hookup' design. Super convenient vs a pinned bucket when it comes to changing attachments, but just a thin piece of square tube is supposed to stabilize all of that torque? I know it would add more weight (and delete the associated lift capacity, and lift capacity is life :rolleyes: ) but I've always thought that the skid-steer hookup design deserved a crossbar top and bottom.
    Yes, the attachment itself helps to stabilize and distribute the torque loads, and yes, you're supposed to lift at the center of the attachment. But lifting heavy loads at inconvenient angles is what tractors are FOR!!

    I couldn’t stand it, I went and got that blade today. I knew it tilted and angled either way, I didn’t know it offsets either way as well. I’m glad to get it.

    Pretty sure this is the original cutting edge and bees nest.
