FEL is not level

[Beebad]

I noticed that the one side of the loader is slightly higher than the other.

Can this be adjusted? I noticed it more with the forks attached.
thanks

Make sure your tire pressure on the rear tires is equal.

Make sure the distance between the flat surface the tractor is sitting on and the center of the rear axle is equal on both sides.

Just a couple ideas since the front axle is on a pivot point and in the past, I’ve read where people have either had different tire pressures, or one time at least different tire diameters that affected the tilt of the tractor, which showed up as a tilted loader. This is because the front axle is a center pivot.

You mean the bucket is not level.
How much out of level?
Are you sure the forks are square?
Is it SSQA?

Tires are both at 25psi.

FEL.
SSQA?

This right here would tell me your floor is not flat and level.
You really need a level spot if your going to test it.



Looking right here it looks really level to me.



Measure it from the pads to the cross base.

SSQA?

Means ... Skid Steer Quick Attach

It does seem square with the rest of your tractor ... It must be the shovel, try switching sides!

An easy test for your floor level is turn the tractor around, is the same side of the SSQA "high"?

Before adjusting anything, set the bucket flat on the floor, then turn the tractor around and check again. If the high side swaps, it's the floor. If it doesn't, check the front tire pressures too, not just the rears, and look for a bent arm or worn pins and bushings on one side. A slow leak past one lift cylinder can also make one side settle lower after it sits.
