Kioti and Third Function Valve

[Threepoint]

Hydraulics go to the easiest place first. When a valve is open, all the fluid goes to the easiest ram to move first. In multivalve body that is piloted, the pilot regulates so that multiple functions get flow allowing multiple functions to work at once. My NX is not a piloted valve and any multiple functionality is controlled by the operator backing off the easiest moving ram, allowing fluid to flow to the second function that is also working.

How does a pilot valve work?

This is consistent with what I've experienced. With my NX's FEL (same loader model and pump on all the NXs), I just feather the joy stick to raise/curl or lower/dump the bucket at the same time. That works, but it is not smooth and continuous as it is on my little 23 y/o Kubota B2150. Love the NX, but this is one of the few changes I'd make, if a small redesign of the valving would achieve it for Kioti.
