LX2610 front end loader removal pin stuck

[KubotaAlex]

Looking for some advice, see below video.
When following the proper procedure for removing the FEL on my 2023 LX2610 with 35 hours i am only able to easily remove the left pin. The right pin will rotate but requires a lot of force.
I am on a level surface in my garage. I noticed if i put a 2x4 block under the left side of the bucket when attempting to remove the pins it does loosen up that right bit a bit more. I have yet to do any loader work besides moving some pallets around so i am not sure what is causing this misalignment.
When my tractor was dropped off last year, the guy was trying to show me how to remove the loader and actually had the same issue. He chalked it up to us being on my gravel driveway and out of level. 6 months later I am trying to take the FEL off for the first time and am experiencing the same issue.

any insight? Should I try and make a warranty claim?

Check both fronts for same air pressure ?
Maybe move loader frame a wee bit(it could be 'cockeyed' relative to tractor a tad )
Pressure released on all loader cylinders ?
Put vicegrips on pin and hammer it out,gently

When you do get it out, swap pins and feel how they then fit .

I remember 4 pin buckets being a PITA unless lined up juuuuust right, tongue to the lower left and praying to the 'bucket god'..please ,please fit THIS time......

There is 100% absolutely nothing wrong with that.
You simply need to move the loader control slightly to take the strain off the pin then it will come out.

Don't force it, get a bigger hammer. Then call your selling dealer and tell them the problem. That is what the warranty is for. If the delivery guy was having problems how do you expect not to have problems with it?

Are you front wheels on the ground? Mine come loose when the front wheels are off the ground. You have to nudge the loader just right - mine is a bit of a combination of curl and down force to come loose.

If there's no adjust you can do with the loader control that loosens it, then that does sound like a warranty issue. From the video it's not clear though.

I normally sit on the seat and adjust the loader, reach forward and check the pin is loose.

Dealership ended up coming to pick it up two weeks ago and was not really clear on what ended up being wrong when I called to follow last week. It sounds like they assembled it wrong.

Two weeks later, I’m finally getting my tractor back today. Hopefully the guy dropping it off will have some info. Not too happy with the turnaround time on something the dealer messed up.
