A control system for a machine having a linkage, a work implement mounted on the linkage, and at least one actuator is provided. The actuator is connected to the linkage and controlled using the control system to move the linkage and the work implement. The control system includes sensors that are configured to sense a current load and position of the work implement. Upon sensing the current load and position of the work implement, a controller provided in the control system can reject or accept a given kick-out command issued from one or more user controls of the control system based on various criteria associated with the sensed load and position of the work implement.
