Hello,
my loader controls are slow, they have been this way since day one.
I am thinking I have to adjust the control valve to speed it up a bit.
How would I go about doing this?
thanks

I own a M7040 which is similar but larger and as far as I know there's no adjustable flow control valve available from the factory.

Check the tractors Hydraulic pressure, check for a restriction in the system like a crushed line or hose, If the connections to the loader have quick disconnects check them as they are usually the source of bad flow.
