525 loader relocating lever

[troiter75]

hello anybody having same problem as me when i turn around to use back blade most of the time i am hitting loader controls and the bucket goes down and digs in to groung or drags iknow i can lock the loader but then i cant use both at the same time i was just wondering if there a relocation option for the control arm thanks

A number of people find it too long and shortened it. It was awkward to me initially and I got used to it but keep thinking about it (I have long arms for my torso)

I was box-blading today and that was the least of my problems... I sure would love a top n tilt!

I also found the loader control to be too long. When I installed a 3rd function valve, I cut the control rod significantly shorter before mounting the “switch Knob”. This was helpful for me.

Some loader models have a lock for the joystick. This is to to prevent inadvertent movement.

Your loader model seems to be LA535 so this lock feature may not be present.
