Buying Advice bobcat tractor front loader control

[kstone71]

hello
My understanding from reading a few post is the 1000 and 2000 series tractor front end loader controls are not multifunction but are diverter controlled { either or}
few questions

1, is this a common limitation on small tractors compact subcompact on other brands ?
2 , does bobcat use a control by wire on theses two { diverter valve body ? } and can this be upgraded after the fact for full multifunction of lift and curl at same time ?
3, is it purely mechanical in control body and need to be upgraded to a different valve body ?

4, how much off a problem is it , do you get used to it does it cause a problem for other attachment { grapples , pallet forks ,sweepers, snow blowers , etc}
5, is the valve body for the 4000 and 5000 series different can it be used?


thank you

I can't help with too many of your questions, but I have a 2000 series. If you full throttle the control in any direction you get one function at a time, up, curl, down, etc. If your moving slower you can lift up on the loader arm and curl down the bucket at the same time, but it has to be slowly. Same with my grapple/ third function. I can curl down and open the grapple lid at the same time as long as I'm not moving to fast with the curl function.
