He tied it into the power beyond port on the loader valve. I wouldn't think that would reduce flow to the loader functions unless I was trying to operate third function at same time as loader funtions? Unless I press the button on joystick to open or close bucket/grapple while using loader then the same amount of flow/gpm would be available at loader functions as was always there.
loader operation?

I have the WR Long 3rd function on both New Holland TL-100A and LS XR4046HC. Both will lift / curl simultaneously at any rpm.

Chris;
WR Long is made in North Carolina. True 3rd functions should be connected to the power beyond port. Please see attached hydraulic diagram.

I have the 4046h and have found the loader hydraulics are not designed real well. I've had experience with several tractors and heavy equipment with loaders. This tractor's loader functions are some of the worst I've seen. When I first got the tractor I thought mine would not roll while dropping too. A little more time on the tractor helped and higher RPM's does make it better. Still not where it should be. That being said, I love the tractor.
rlgustafson: that is exactly how mine is plumbed.
Jbob: kiiinda glad to here that. With the RPM,s up it does work. But like you said it is not as smooth as the kubota I had. This really is a nice tractor and I like it. For a homeowner it is hard to beat the price versus other tractors for all you get. And we all know it comes down to getting used to something. Doesn't really mean something is wrong, just different. Still don't think my 4in1 is working right but that may be something different and I will still look into that.

We heard nothing but good things about the W.R. Long when my son was purchasing a Kubota MX5100 and what you've said about curling while raising and dumping while lowering and the way is was to be mounted is the reasons he went with the Long setup and so far it's been great. Works fine at any RPM's. The dealer even put quick connects on the 3rd Function for removing the loader but if it's like the other loader tractor after almost 1200 hours the loader's never been off.

It will do it whether you have 3rd function or not. It's a real small sweet spot to find but it will do it. The problem is when you do find the spot it is really slow. The reason for this is the hydraulic pump does not provide enough flow to support two valves being open at same time like a skidsteer does. Keep rpms up and hunt around for the sweet spot...you'll find it but don't expect it to move fast. The loader will never perform like a skidsteer loader due to the lack of flow. Remember these are tractors first and loaders second.
