I have been trying to get the front end loader to load back on the tractor, I cant get it off to start over and icant get it on, one side locked in the other one is out , any one have any ideas. sharon: eek:
front end loader
- Thread starter sharon
- Start date
Don't you have to pin it to be locked in, or is it because your not aligned straight and it's caught? If you have to pry it out with a bar (small one) then with the hoses attached get your arms lined up again, by fully extending or retracting the cylinders they will line up again. I have the same problem because i turn driving into mine (bx2660). Hope this helps Barry
Trying to decipher her post I gather that the pin on one side of the quick release is extended into the down lock position but the pin is outside the lower bracket so the bucket is cocked a bit on the pads and wedged in a bind situation. If that is the case it should take two folks to illeviate the problem. One person pulling up on the lever while someone else taps up on the wedged pin until it moves upward and is no longer bound on the outside of the bracket.

There are only a few owners of BXxx80s in OTT your tractor loader is different / newer than all the other tractors here. I agree unless you are mechanically inclined contact the dealer for assistance.
Are yoi on a good flat surface?
It looks like if you are not things will not line up.
Make sure the cylinders are the same length and the rear tire pressures are good/same.
Take it off and then make sure the tractor and fel are on the same plane and square to each other.
Here is Mesnicks video.

I have a 23S (same as a 2380) and have been through this before.
Drop your bucket to the ground enough to take some weight off the front of the tractor.
Lift both left & right locks to try to detach the one side that is latched on by curling your bucket up. Do not try to get one side on with the other side locked, it will twist the arms.
Once both sides are free shut down the tractor and disconnect the hydraulic manifold.
Take a break, review the Messicks video, particularly noting how the bucket curl is the key to hooking up.
When you are ready to try again get well lined up, then back up slightly to attach the hydraulic manifold.
Good luck.
