I have a BX tractor. I release the QA handles and then lower the bucket to the ground. The right side releases but the left side will not unless I play with the tilt of the bucket while forcing the bucket down. I see that there are adjustment on the QA mechanism but could not find anything on the web on how the QA mechanism should be adjusted. The QA brackets on the bucket do not appear to be bent.

Thanks for any suggestions,

on my BX23S, I do as the manual says... release clamps, tilt bucket forward 45*, lower to ground, backup....

you may need to adjust them, just couple of nuts(17-19mm or 3/4" ?),just make the left look like the right.
oh yeah...be sure to grease them ! they need to slide FREELY, but smoothly.

Is the pin too low when retracted?
Then you you can adjust that.

People have noted that their arms are different heights on some loaders. Assuming you are putting it on level ground, that might be the issue. I'd try putting a 2x4 or similar on the other side and see if it helps, or just angle the loader a bit more.
