This even more noticable since I bought a pallet fork setup for the loader. It is very hard to use the forks, I have to stop raising to level the load on the forks.
After several calls to various places, I found out that Mahindra only uses 4 position loader controls, not 8 position like the Kubota I was used to using. The Kubota was much smother to operate as you can tilt and raise at the same time.
Any comments about this or suggestion how to convert over to an 8 position control??

Hey Denis,
I bought my 4530 new in 2007 and it has the ML245 loader also. I don't know anything about hydraulics, but although the directional decal only shows six positions including float and fast dump, mine has more positions. For example on page 27 of the loader manual it shows:
Number 1 Position= Raise loader (Joystick down)
Number 4 Position= Roll back attachment(Joystick left)
If I pull the joystick in between position 1 and 4 (down and to the left), my loader raises and my attachment rolls (tilts) at the same time. Same with down and to the right, up and to the left, up and to the right. There seems to be settings in between the settings if that makes any sense. Like I said, I know nothing about hydraulics and if someone wants to chime in, please do. However, my ML245 loader will raise and tilt and lower and tilt at the same time.
Hope this helps,
Mud
