VerifiedGood morning, My name is XXXXX XXXXX I may be able to help you out. I need to ask a few questions so that we can get started. Just to confirm, when you but the bucket cutting edge on the ground, is one side 3" higher than the other? and are both front tires the same size and do the have roughly the same amount of tread wear left?
Ok, here is what I suggest, take a level and a long board or pipe or something, and measure it at the top of the loader arms where they pin to the upper loader mount, and place the level across the bucket mounting point at the bottom of the lift arms. You can do this with the bucket raised off of the ground and the bucket tipped forward. If the two measurements are the same then there has to be something wrong with the loader arm mounts that mount to the tractor. If the two measurements are different then the loader arms have to be bent. Make those measurements and let me know what you find.
