Pat, the loader operating slowly could be caused by not operating at a high enough RPM. Cycle times are rated at 2500 RPMs on the 7520, per the Mahindra website.
Lift capacities are at the pins, not four foot in front of the QA bracket. The further away from the pins the weight is the less the loader is able to lift.
In regards to the steering, what you are saying makes no sense. If the steering wheel turns the wheels when the tractor is moving it will turn it while it is not moving. I suspect the tractor was not running, as if the tractor is not running the steering wheel will not turn the wheels on a tractor with hydrostatic steering, as the steering wheel works a hydraulic valve, the valve in turn controls the hydraulic steering cylinders.
It is physically impossible for the steering wheel to change orientations while you are driving down the road without moving the steering wheel. How does the steering wheel do this with you grasping it? It doesn't. Either the little cap in the center is jiggling from vibration and reorienting itself, or you are noticing the difference in orientation at differing times. With hydrostatic steering that little cap can be in any direction at any time.
Part of your problems are user related. It is your responsibility to check for loose bolts and to keep them tight. The nature of every tractor I have ever used is that vibrations can cause things to loosen up.
Some of the problems you have had were caused by the dealer not properly fixing issues when they occurred and this resulted in more problems than it should have. The injector pump issues are a good example of this.
