NX Loader able to curl and lift at the same time?

[DieselBound]

If time is a constraint then rent a construction-grade loader or skid-steer. If it's a patience issue then either learn to manage OR re-read my first sentence.

I've scooped and hauled a gawd-awful amount of material with my NX. I have zero issues operating it: and I've operated excavators and skid-steers. Loader action was the least of my time constraints: having to hitch and un-hitch my dump trailer and travel nearly 1/4 mile at a shot.

It's a feature constraint. If the MX series can do this, why would a NX not be so capable? The Kioti tech support person I spoke to said that the NX has this capability, but my experience on the test drive and comments on the forum would indicate that is not the case.

Are you using the standard NX bucket or have you upgraded to something larger?

I agree most all the other posters. You can get 2 functions to operate at once but you REALLY have to feather the joystick appropriately. After some seat time, you can get pretty efficient at it.

When you move the joystick to the full 2 function position, say full down and full left (lift up & curl back), you are essentially fully opening both valves, so which ever function needs less hydraulic demand (lift up OR curl back) is going to get priority and win until the demand of the other becomes less. Everything is a competition --- the other brand you mentioned will tout their ability to get 2 functions going at one time with a more complicated hydraulic pump. Kioti will tout their bigger lifting capacity. It's your choice which one is more important to you.

My CK4010 has the same slow response, a pretty big letdown after owning a skid steer for ten years.

I ended up buying a CTL for loader work. The tractor is pretty much relegated to snow blower work now.

Frankly, although I recognize that this is, first and foremost, a tractor site, I think a skid steer or CTL is a more useful tool, if you aren’t towing ground engaging implements.

Standard bucket.

Good luck on resolving your issues.

The loader valve is not piloted, so one function at a time unless really feathered.

Waendo, the Kioti support person doesn't know what they are talking about. The loader valve IS NOT PILOTED (LOOK THIS TERM UP SO YOU UNDERSTAND), so only ONE FUNCTION AT A TIME.

How has your Kioti service experience been up in Arlington?

Thanks for the reply, makes sense.
