Just a statement and would like to see how other loaders operate. When nearing the max limit of the loader( say lifting a log) I have noticed that the curling has less power than the lift on my CK30 with the kioti loader. On an older ford 3000 with a ford loader The curl had a lot more than the lift of the loader. What is the norm..............Do not take this wrong, I am totally satisfied with the loaders performance

TG45 has more curl than lift. At the limit, I curl, hold lift then let curl relax. I know, it should not be worked that hard. :)

My Massey has more curl than lift also, and every other front end loader I've used did also.

I've never used a Kioti though................

Loaders have more curl force than lift. When I pull up old fence posts I chain the posts to the bucket so that I can curl them out. Chaining them to lift them with the loader would be a waste of time. I am talking about SCUT and Cut tractors.

My Ck 20 has more curl. That is the way it should be, you curl to "breakout" then lift.

I have an old "blackhawk" loader (1974 ish) I used it to clear my lot and lifted logs all day long with it. It too would curl after my lift had reached its max.

After I got the hang of it...i was using the technique Sandlot recommends. Curl first then lift. Curl always seemed to work on the big heavy logs.

Well all this is interesting. Wonder if my problem is only exagerated due to the forks I have installed, and would never notice it with the bucket? hummmmmmm?
