Jeff:

Gehl builds their booms pretty solidly, And short of removing the boom and tweeking the part where it is bent, I am betting it is more a problem related to the hinge or lift pins. Our 4615 used to eat them, other than that it was a great machine. There is a bucket pivot made for most machines, where for $1500 or so, you hook it to the pig tails for the hydro system, and you can rock the bocket up to 22.5° either side. This is a very cool feature when grading on slopes, or if you need to cut swales or even if you are on slightly tilted ground and are moving a pallet of something and have to set it down on ground at a different level.

It basically does the same thing as a 6 way blade, except with a bucket. To clarify, are you saying that if you park the machine on level flat concrete, place the bucket all the way down, that one side is on the pavement, and the other is off the pavement?
