Boom and drive won't work at the same time

[Joel/ak]

Little 324. If I'm driving, I need to stop to lower the beam, or basically do anything with the joysticks. I can rotate but nothing else.

Was stuck once and really sucked trying to crawl out while trying to pull myself out.

Is this normal on these little machines? It's always been this way.

Had the machine for a couple years. Oh and I'm new here.

Thanks
Joel

I dont have a Bobcat, but I cant believe an excavator would not move the tracks while actuating the boom. Do you have the RPM up pretty high when trying?

Rpms are as high as they can go. Weird part is if I start driving, I can work a few functions for a very few minutes, then they die off.

I'm just trying to figure out if this is normal.
