Really....my 3720 does it.Sorry to have to tell you, but the 4 series does not have the capability to independently curl/dump or lift/drop.

I will have to disappoint you it really is not better in Europe. When we got our 4R I thought something was wrong with the loader because we had 3R and its loader was operating much faster and 2 functions at once were actually doable. Now with how slow responding 4R loader is 2 functions at once are basically impossible. But Euro models are equipped with additional hydraulic backflow stop. Therefore float is basically useless. Now it got me thinking wheter that stop might be also limiting flow somewhat.Well, I checked my manual and it does specify a capability of raising and curling at the same time, but good luck in finding that "sweet" spot. I have only rarely been able to do that and it slows it down considerably as it is splitting the flow. Loader controls are my only complaint with my 4066R. I even had the upgrade done by the dealer, which cost me nearly $400. The dump movement usually requires both hands as that is an unusual movement of the arm. My neighbors Kubota has it all over my 4066R for loader operation. My understanding is that the Euro versions have a much better loader control.

yeah you are right. it has to be featherd. and that is the condiotion what this guy is experiencing. sorr bud but thats the nature of all these compacy john deere tractors.Really....my 3720 does it.
Post #11 at Letter to Deere, Give The 3R ________ is what I was referring to. It shows an electronic joystick that I assumed was the Euro model, but in rechecking it, I note it only says it is for sale outside the US. So I don't know where it is available. The 4 series needs that bad.I will have to disappoint you it really is not better in Europe.

Those few times I found the "sweet spot", it was definitely slower. I have not even tried to find it again for several years. It just takes too long to fiddle around looking for it. By the time I find it, I could already be done and gone.I’ll add a little to the thread. I owned a Kubota BX for 10 years and doing multiple functions is much easier on them but lije the JD, doing two at once really slows it down, maybe worse than my JD. I can do two functions on my 2025r. The two most common ones for me would be lift and curl and lift and dump. I think on mine the lift and curl is easier than lift and dump. The lift and dump is almost impossible.
The speed of the actions? What really bugged me about the Kubota I owned was the small loader bucket and how slow the loader was doing light materials, like snow removal. I’m not sure my JD isn’t faster and it might actually be quicker to just do one function at a time, like lift a little, curl a little and so on.
Wait . . . are we still talking about tractors . . . ?Those few times I found the "sweet spot", it was definitely slower. I have not even tried to find it again for several years. It just takes too long to fiddle around looking for it. By the time I find it, I could already be done and gone.
Stay classy GTT 😬Wait . . . are we still talking about tractors . . . ?
