RX7320 3rd Function

I've had my RX8030 (power shuttle with cab and factory-fitted loader) for only a couple of weeks now, and this is the first time I've used a 4-in-1. I'm curious though regarding the single button on mine, vs the two buttons I've seen on others here.
Am I right in thinking mine is a "diverter" function? ie - I can use open & close OR curl & dump, but not simultaneously, as opposed to a fully fledged operation where all six functions can be used simultaneously?
I'm also thinking (twice in one day - something of a record!
) that the Australian/NZ RX8030 is an RX7320 with different emission protocols. 76hp vs 73hp.
For info, the hydraulic hose setup near the base of the loader tower looks like this on mine - well clear of the front wheel:
and on the loader:
And my dealer offered me a word of caution - after lowering the front grill guard, to access the air cleaner or blow out the radiators for example, after closing the bonnet (hood?) DON'T FORGET TO LIFT UP THE GUARD AND RE-PIN IT! He said it's easy to forget, and next time you use the loader, you could wipe it out. And not to ask him how he knew!!!!! :laughing:

Yup, thatç—´ a diverter valve vs a 3rd function.
And I壇 guess youæ±*e right about it being the same tractor. The NX4510, NX5010, NX5510 and NX6010 all have the same engine - just a different tune for 45, 50, 55 and 60hp. And I believe very few if any other changes except tire size.

Tyres on the RX8030 are radials here. 280/85R24 fronts, and 420/85R30 rears.

In order to use multiple functions AT THE SAME TIME, the joystick valve must be piloted, and ours are not. You can feather the joystick a bit, but under load it is pretty much one function at a time. With two buttons on the electric over hydraulic diverter valve, effectively, whatever ram has the LEAST RESISTANCE will receive the fluid. Again you can sort of feather things, but under a load, it is pretty much one function at a time. That said, I really like the home-made setup I made as it looks like the third function the factory should have provided with hardlines, custom-fitted hoses, matching hardware, et cetra, but never did.

I really like that too - nice job!

Very nice job Eric. I cheated on my 3rd function. I rarely use it so I just added hoses to plug into my rear remotes. I have added a bracket at the loader disconnects for the front hoses. A simple job to do and a lot less money. Kioti wanted $1250 for the kit and $1500 installed.

The more tractors I jump in and use, the more I really like my solution--especially since my tractor is primarily used with with a grapple and in winter a snow plow--all easy work for the tractor. The only thing that would make it better is a piloted joystick valve.
Where does the new valve get it pressure line from? Is it fed straight from the gear pump?
Thanks.

I'm revisiting the idea of 3rd function; been using hoses from the rear-remotes for the last year and now with a bale clamp I'm finding that I could be more efficient if I had all controls on the joystick instead of having to move my hand.
cutthroat, I was looking again on your pictures and it looks like part of your setup is attached right to the loader frame on the tractor, that big 1" thick steel plate. Do I have that right? I'm likely to order the kit and install it myself but I'm not sure I want (or have a good way) to drill holes like that. I wonder if the WR Long kit might mount differently. Can you confirm if holes had to be drilled into that frame? Thanks.
How's the machine working out for you?
