Improve the EH hydrulics and engine air filter precleaner
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.

I have a 329D track loader. I run this machine on a feedlot and i clean the air filter every 5-8 machine hours....and its solid corn hulls leaves dirt and debris. In dry dirt conditions i believe the track stirs up dirt and it gets pulled through the side panel, then directly into the air cleaner.

I am not sure that this feature was designed to be used as such, but you can use the creep control to increase the max speed at low engine RPM. Turn on creep mode and set to the highest % available (I think this is 100%).
What apparently happens is that deere programmed the speed control to scale back with the rpm by default. The creep control limits the top speed to the specified setting, regardless of engine rpm. This makes the max pump stroke become your max speed.Hope this helps.

yea the joysticks are slow on ours too, the air filter does require more attention than normal I think.
