    Damaged Loader... How best to repair?

    Hello Jiggseob, you were right on the loader frame tower. The right side is perfectly straight. The left side is out by 1/4' over 24'. Next step is to remove the loader and then the loader frames to do a similar repair as you mentioned. Thanks again

    Damaged Loader... How best to repair?

    Hello Donystoy, thank you for this good information. I took delivery of my LX2610 at the beginning of November 2021. I wasn't contacted by the dealer to measure the loader, but will contact them this week to see if my SN was in the range of any known manufacturing issues.

    Damaged Loader... How best to repair?

    Thank you, I am considering upgrading to a larger tractor that would better meet my current needs. Unfortunately, I bought the LX2610 new based on my short term needs. It is now too small for my current and future requirements. I need to repair the loader before selling or trading it in.

    Damaged Loader... How best to repair?

    It wasn't the lift. I believe it was the transporting (50') across a short distance that did the damage. From this point forward, I won't be transporting using the tractor. I would lift the log, place on a trailer or log skidder then transport.

    Damaged Loader... How best to repair?

    Thank you. I am starting to get my head around this level of repair. Once the damaged section is clearly determined, I agree with the need to reinforce it to prevent this from happening again.

    Damaged Loader... How best to repair?

    Thanks, yes this is a quick attach bucket. I couldn't see any obvious bending of the support tube between the ssqa, but will have another closer look.

    Damaged Loader... How best to repair?

    Thank you for your input. The 4' level was placed on the loader arms closer to the cab. The 2' level was placed directly on the bucket. The level is off more the farther away from the loader arm pins.

    Damaged Loader... How best to repair?

    thanks guys. I prefer a level bucket as well. When lifting the load, the load was within the limit of the tractor (otherwise it wouldn't have lifted off the ground). When moving it must have swayed back and forth as I moved about 50' . I was considering loosing off the loader support arms...

    Damaged Loader... How best to repair?

    Ok, good to see the "don't sweat it" statement. The back tires are level and equally inflated. It's different than it used to be before hauling a few logs. Was concerned if there may be a broken pivot pin or something else that would lead to bigger problems in the future.

    Damaged Loader... How best to repair?

    I have an LX2610 with approx. 170 hours. The tractor is no longer under warranty. After moving some logs, which the loader handled no problem, I noticed the loader seems bent. I made sure all the support bolts are torqued to specifications, a couple were only slightly loose. No welds appear...

    LX2610 BORA 2" Wheel Spacer Install

    Thank you RMS. It really looked deceiving with the 22mm larger head bolts and nuts. I wanted to have all the right tools in place before starting. Just checked the bolt and nut size and determined all is well. The thread size is the same (even though the heads are larger) and I can use my...

    LX2610 BORA 2" Wheel Spacer Install

    Hello, I just bought and received a pair of 2" Bora rear spacers for my LX2610. I wanted to install them this weekend but ran into an issue with the size of my sockets fitting into the Bora wheel spacers. The tires are installed with 22mm bolts(4) and two studs with 22m nuts. My standard 22mm...

    Early first service B2601

    I would guess it is based on statistics of the typical number of hours that the filter would catch any filings and the number of hours when the burrs and filings would work their way off the gears, etc.

    Early first service B2601

    In my opinion an early first service is essential to remove tiny pieces of metal flakes and fines that wear off when new mechanical parts mesh. The filters capture the particles, while the oil is typically still clean. When I serviced heavy mobile equipment (mining off highway vehicles with...

    Early first service B2601

    update on my paint price situation. I called the dealer first thing this morning to challenge the paint price and sure enough they charged me for the wrong product and quickly refunded the difference.
