2520 FEL operation function

[rtm038]

Hello all,
I have a 2520 FEL/BH on order and I have some questions about the 200CX loader functions. While I did test a 2520 at the dealer before ordering, one thing I don't remember is whether or not you can perform multiple loader functions (example: raise the loader, while curling the bucket) at once. Anyone know the answer?

Thanks
Ryan

I hope you can perform multible functions at once, but I doubt it. I have tested 2 3000 series tractors for 2 weekends and have worked 20+ cut tractors 3000 and04000 series. These loaders will not "blend". You need to read another thread....look for 3000 4000 series loader operation. There has been 60-70 replys. John Deere has a dissapointing problem with these loaders, and I can't get anyone to address this.
In todays modern age of tractors and hydraulics, these loaders should function flawlessly and at full speed.

Hope yours does, but I doubt it.

Well, the OP was asking about the 200CX loader on the 2520, not the other loaders on the 3000/4000 series. I know for a fact that the 200CX can do both motions at the same time. Just yesterday I was moving a pile of gravel -- after each load I backed up, curled and lowered simultaneously.

considering I can do both curl and up/down functions at the same time on my itty bitty 2305 I would surely hope the 3000 and 4000 series can do the same....

I have a 2520 w/loader and BH.

I'd find digging into gravel extremely frustrating if I couldn't curl and lift at the same time.
You can multi-function the BH also, but the actions will slow.

You can curl and raise/lower while travelling forward or reverse in 4WD, too.
I do it every Sunday.
I'm moving gravel fill that a barn was built on 50 years ago.
I'm finding some interesting pieces of metal.
and black sheet plastic.
