My 332D hydrulic and drive controls are way to slow to react. I payed alot of money to get joysticks and wish I now would have not. First thing every thing is extremly slow at lower engine speeds. I dont't want the engine at 2800 RPM for varius reasons, when cold, when inside tight buildings, or when using in my shop to lift and set things such as a tractor cab back in place. Second why the anoying puase when I move a joy stick I want things to happen not wait till I'm over the edge or hitting something. Third when using the aux circut it should not effect the bucket or boom fuctions, when run my loftness rock picker I engauge the aux circut to turn the reel and need to lift the bucket but can't because of the pressure spike it created with it's orfice controlled motor. Needs to plumbed differnt or another seperate pump and valve for the aux. system, I run that on low flow.

The precleaner on the engine air filter is a joke. Every 10-15 hours in the field in low to moderate dust and the whole filter can is packed with dirt, and unless you guys are going to start giving us air filters for free you should check this out. The dust unloader is open but not near agrassive enough. This is my first Deere skid steer have other wise ran Case so far I'm not impressed.

The power of the new skid's and CTL's is nothing short of amazing but it doesnt do a operator any good if it cant be used without breaking the machine. The coupling system on the CTL is just to weak to handle the forces from lifting, prying, and backblading. Over and over again the same part breaks at a cost of close to a thousand dollars, the dealers tell me "dont do that with the machine" how about we just make the part a little stronger so we dont have this problem. Its the last weak link in your skids and it needs some attention. I work my machines hard and i know DEERE can make a machine to take it as long as they listen to the guys that are always at the parts counter.

The small 3.0 5Cyl. engine is nice in the smaller machines but the low end power and reserve power are just not there. This engine relies way too much on turbo boost to do its work. The 332d should have been mated to the 4045 engine This would have also cut down on fuel consumtion Im shure. If guys at Deere can't get a clue on this get your self in an old Case 95XT and have your way with a dirt pile,I dare you to try it at half throttle or less that 3.9 cummins will wake up and go through it. I'm not trying to run your new baby down, but I do own a new 332D and I'm Not happy with enigne or how much fuel it burns even doing light work. Also that new air ride seat in the D series is terrible, Its hard as rock and both pan and back rest cushions are very undersized,try operating it for 12 hrs. straight. I'm only 5ft.10" 165LBS!

-4045 common rail engine, more efficient hyd. cooler, have the aux. hyd. NOT affect bucket, boom and drive hyd.
-bucket cylinders in boom integraded, not beside.
-new unbreakable quik attach with looking pins coming out sideways, like some wheel loaders
-able to customize hyd system more, have bigger touch screen
-have hyd. quick couplers facing down 45 degree (less quick coupler wear)
-now with the new pressurized cab have the side windows again out side the cab for easer cleaning
-rear lights included in fan grill, so engine hood could be lower for better vis.
-led work lights
-satelite / VHF radio option
-back of air ride seat higher
-boom look sound dampend (engine noice)
and at last have a John Deere dealer ship in Whitehorse Canada! (we are booming.....mining mining mining)
