two things. 1. can i disable these ridiculous safety features on my machine. i can't tilt or do much when boom angle is greater than 20 degrees or extended. 2. is it a lot of work to run a new set of hydros from my cab tilt to bypass these safeties?

    i managed to macgyver a system that bypass this safety switch. however. because it is bypassed the machine thinks the boom is retracted. so if ive boomed out it takes FOREVER for the boom to retract beacuse it already thinks its retracted.... any thoughts.

    Man the safety switches are there for good reason. Doubt anyone is gonna tell you how to bypass them on a public forum. And there's good reason for that too.

    ive been running a telehandler 15 years if you know the limits of the machine and don't do anything stupid you will be fine. there is so much safety on this machine i can't even use it .
