Reviewing the john deere 500m loader

[@khtractors]

The issue with lining up to the attachment in my opinion isn’t being in too close but the loader arms are wider than other brands. Notice the offset at the skidsteer coupler. On the Kubota the edge of the coupler was inline with the connection point which made it easier. I actually struggle attaching the bucket more than any of my other attachments. It’s got close tolerances and no room for error. Take care!

@@khtractors the loader arms are definitely a lot wider than my new holland was. Its just going to take some getting used to. Thanks for the feedback!

I understand that you dont want to repaint your brand new bucket. But I have an idea how you can test your idea without painting it: Why dont you put black tape on the hookup point and see if it helps.👍

@@jddriver9565 that is a fabulous suggestion! Im definitely going to try this until i get used to lining it up! Thank you!
