Folks, a good question is like this from time to time. I thought it was worth making a video about it, but your loader or your bucket's not sitting level. Okay? And that could be, well, actually the last time it came up was with a snow pusher that wasn't sitting level. It was side to side wonky, right? And so there's a lot of things that go into this. A lot of, well, this go from simple to most difficult thing is to check on your tractor, on your equipment, to make sure that it's set up correctly and see if we can narrow down where the problem's at. Now I'll go without saying you need to make sure that your ground is level. Yeah, I may look level, but we have drains that are sloping here. Okay? We have a floor drain, floor drain. Everything slopes down to them. Now we are pretty much sitting kind of with the slope right here. So you can see the whole bucket is on the ground. That means the rest of the tractor is kind of on that same slope as well. So it's all consistent. So that's a big one to check out though, because I've had folks tell me it's parked in the garage, it sent me a picture and it's one side off the ground, the other side's not. Well, as your ground level, occasionally it's not. Now in the case of a snow pusher, another obvious thing you'd want to check just to roll out, because it's simple, is the height of both skid runners. You have one on the left and the right hand side. Make sure they're set at the same height, because if they're not, obviously it's not going to sit level. You may also be able to see the rear blade. And if that whole rear blade is making contact or consistently not making contact, then you're good to go that way too, but easy enough to roll out. Now one that we don't see very often, but we did start to see a few times with the manufacturer that we dropped a year or two ago, was the brackets on the backside of an attachment for a skid steer quick attach or a John Deere quick attach are welded up crooked. Now this could be a little bit harder to measure, but if you can kind of square everything up and take some measurements that are consistent on the left and the right side and see if they are identical or not, that'll help rule that out. Or if they are not identical and one side is sitting up higher than the other or the other side is sitting lower than the other, you know, same kind of thing. Well then you know you have a problem with your attachment and while it's rare, it's not completely unheard of, so it's worth checking that too. Or let's say the one attachment is the only one you have problems with sitting level and all the other attachments sit level just fine. Well you know you can probably rule out the tractor and the loader portion of things and focus on a problem with the attachment. Hey and while we've got this kabota sitting here, I thought it's an appropriate time to mention, we are going to be installing bucket brackets on this kabota from JU Fabworks. They are a discount club partner. You buy directly from their website. You use code GWT to save 5% off your order. We did a whole video about bucket brackets on our John Deere tractor. Well that bucket is sitting outside. Very handy you can put a receiver on their chain hooks, D-rings, all sorts of stuff, strengthen the top rail, adverse utility, a pretty cool way to enhance the bucket. Now a couple of things could be going on with your tires. One, again seems obvious, is tire pressure. Make sure all four tires, well I guess the front, the left and the right and the front of the same PSI, the rear is left and the right are the same PSI, so everything is identical because if you have lower PSI at one side than the other, maybe you have a slow leak and you don't even know about it, but that happens and it will throw off the levelness of your attachments. Now the other problem that I personally had with tires was on a John Deere 4 series I had a while back. I don't remember which specific one it was, it doesn't matter. Had R4 tires all around, but it was a different R4 tire on the left side versus the right side. They were off by an inch. One was taller than the other. By an inch, I kept trying to figure out what the heck is going on here, it just, you could feel it, right? You could just tell something was off, you could visually see something was off, but you couldn't figure out where it was and being the same tire, the same tire tread pattern, they were filled, the same PSI, it was the weirdest thing, took a long time to figure out and was not covered by any manufacturer, any dealer, nothing else. That was money on a pocket to get one correct tire put on there and make it right. We're proud to be sponsored by Rimguard Solutions, a liquid balustway.

A couple different things I've seen go on with loaders and particular John Deere loaders, one on this end and one on this end. Now you have independent paddles on John Deere and it's been mentioned a lot how they, they don't both go down and up at the same exact rate, sometimes it's like this and then it's like this and kind of wonky. Typically, once you're connected to an attachment, they're in unison and how they move but there still is an opportunity potentially for them to be a little caddy-wapis and provide an opportunity for it to be out of level. So maybe I like to kind of fully reset things, you know, rock it all the way back or roll all the way forward. I don't know why it's probably just like turning your computer on and off to fix a problem, right? But on the rare, rare occasion, I have that happen that seems to resolve the issue. It's worth a shout anyways. Now in 2017, I ordered a brand new John Deere 3046R open station tractor 320 hour loader. I think it was on there. Maybe they H165. Same thing, just a different sticker. Use that for a long time. On occasion, one side of the loader base would kind of, the loader would almost kind of start to pop off. It kind of like move around a little bit, not completely but just weird. It wasn't solid. Anyway, it took a long time. It had been in for service in a warranty deal once or twice. The others couldn't figure it out but in the last time it did go in there, they realized that the mounts for the three R series, which are unique to that series, it had two right hand mounts that somehow were able to bolt on on the left and the right hand side. Somehow sort of work and interlock with the loader itself but not completely. That was the problem with that one where it would kind of come on and off and cause uneven usage on the front end with pallet forks or bucket or anything. One side being a little bit higher than the other because there wasn't a solid rigid connection there with the wrong bracket on there. Pretty unbelievable that that happened. I think that's going to be a rare occurrence for anybody out there but stranger things have happened. I'm proof of it. Now you can see this bucket here is taking its fair share of abuse and certain attachments get worked hard. There's always a possibility that the bottom edge is just got wonky and out of square because of how it's been used and it's got a lot of work out of it. But that could be causing an issue but even though this one has seen us better days, it's still in decent enough shape and that bottom line that bottom rail is laying straight across, flat across the floor. I don't think that's an issue here at all. One thing that that customer's dealer told him to check on his 1025R that he had was bleeding air from the hydraulic system that potentially there could be an air bubble in there because he's got a two cylinder, this kabota has one cylinder in the middle. The 1025R has a cylinder on each side and potentially there's an air bubble in there somehow causing things to sit out of level. I personally think that's a pretty low probability, kind of a pain in the butt to check to. I'd say and go ahead dealer, you can check that if you want to but that's not something I'm going to do. Now the last thing I can think of is to measure other points on your tractor on both the left and the right. So maybe under the front axle and the rear axle and the left and the right points, does your belly mower moe level? I mean has that been tweaked or set up or changed or out of whack? You know do other attachments on the back mower level or cut level or grade level or whatever is it only on the loader? Can you narrow it down to the more you can narrow it down the better? I guess is what I'm getting at. So this is everything that I could come up with to check. Probably not exhaustive. I'm sure you guys have other things to take a look at too and maybe some common sense things I haven't even thought about. But it is a real problem that a lot of tractor owners have.
