Hi all, first post and new XG3025 owner. Picked it up used with only 49 hours from a gentleman who did not want a clutch lol. Taking it in for the recall service soon, but I've also noticed the front end loader is pretty sensitive, just touching the control and it really rockets up. Any way to lessen that? Thanks.

I have the 'new' loader on my 2019 3025, but it was VERY sensitive on the control. I was having to reach for the contol stick, so I made an extended lever on the control. This actually solved both problems. The control is very easy to operate now, far less "sensitive". The loader is now a pleasure to operate.

It was really easy to make. A piece of 3/8" steel pipe, 2- 10mm X 30mm bolts / nuts (TSC didn't have any 10mm threaded rod). I approximated the length I thought would be comfortable for me and cut the pipe, which was 14". I cut the heads off of the bolts and inserted them into the ends of the pipe, leaving about an inch of threads on one end (top for the knob) and about an inch and a half on the bottom (to thread in the valve leaving room for a nut to lock it down). One small tack with the welder on each side where the bolts go into the pipe. A little bit of Rustoleum safety blue paint and done! Took longer for the paint to dry than to make it!

I think because the travel of the lever is longer, the "sensitivity" is substantially decreased.

That's a wonderful idea. I think I might shamelessly copy it :)

Usually throttling down a bit will give you more control too; less jerky movements
