You could possibly put shims in the relief valve if you own a Kubota.
BUT Kubota didn't make an M42 so I don't know what you are dealing with.

one option.....
You can replace the lift cylinders with larger bore versions.
you'll lift more but it'll be slower ( not a bad thing with heavy loads !! )

yeesh, trying to lift 4000# of wobbly 'decks' is really, really asking for trouble.
2 tons as a concentrated block secured to the loader is 'ok' but big wide 'decks' just says 'LOOK OUT' !!
I'm wondering if these 'decks' are 10 x 40 in size next to trailers ? A picture may help let us think of possible SAFE rigging options for you.
