200CX question

[Phunge]

I was at the dealer and playing with a 200cx loader on a 2320. I noticed while raising the loader (stick all the way back) that if I tried to curl the bucket at the same time (stick to the back and right) the loader would stop raising. It would not raise and curl at the same time.

Is this expected behaviour? Seems very limiting.

Ithink I remember someone asking this a while back - and the answer was it was typical

I just went out to the barn and tried it because I hadn't noticed before. My bucket slows down quite a bit, maybe about 50% but still lifts and curls at the same time. Possibly due to limited hydraulic flow? Possibly if the bucket was loaded to capacity it would stop. I'll try tomorrow when moving rocks.

What RPM was the tractor running at?

I believe it would depend on the tractor it is mounted on. It would be better on a 2520 than it would on a 2305.

Hmmm -- Maybe I just didn't have enough RPMs

 

[EdC]

Well I tried it when the bucket was full to overflowing with dirt and could not get the bucket to curl while the loader was lifting unless I was at 2800 (or more) RPM. Guess you were right about the rpms. I never noticed that before.
