Not a fan of Self Leveling bucket

[Boss 302]

I have an RX6010 and the more I use the loader, the more I don't care for the self leveling bucket. I wish Kioti offered the standard loader as an option, I may have to get creative and fabricate some brackets to defeat the self leveling part.

I often feel the same way with the Deere 110.

If I was loading a dump truck I might feel different but for chores the self leveling gets in the way

It should be simple to devise a lockout but have not pursued.

About the only advantage that I have found with self leveling is when I put the forks on and have to work from the platform in order to reach higher places. The self leveler really puts the operator at a disadvantage if you're operating on hilly ground with a spear carrying round bales downhill, and it also is impossible to heap the bucket with dirt or gravel.

And here I am trying to practice leveling as I raise and lower.

90% of the time my self leveler is fine,
that said the 10% it is not, I do complain about.

I love how the Bobcat I'm working with can turn it on or off.

Tractor Time With Tim posted a series of videos on the self leveling bucket and showed both the advantages and disadvantages. One of the advantages is that you can't tip the bucket back and dribble material on the hood of the tractor. One disadvantage was it was harder to get a full bucket.
I used to operate wheel loaders at our companies various pits to load my own truck and I really liked the self leveling bucket on those for loading screened material as well as digging out of the bank. On occasion I wish I had one on my tractor, but I can live with the bucket level indicator.

I hated the one on my M59. Luckily it had a switch to disable it. The one on my skid steer works better and I don’t dislike it.

The wife runs the RX7320 while I'm in the manbasket on the forks. Gotta know I love that the loader is self-leveling or I may not be here to write this post.

I agree Michigan it works great for the man basket, but for other chores it just isn't my cup of tea.
