I have recently purchased a 2010 323d with about 2200 hours. When raising the boom or tilting the bucket everything moves smoothly, but if lowering the boom it will hesitate then shake, or drop quickly a few inches then lower smoothly. If I keep steady pressure I can smoothly lower the arms but if I stop and try to lower the arms it will drop again before lowering smoothly. I have used this machine in the past before I purchased it and it was always smooth. I have verified hydraulic oil level but really am not sure where to go from here. I wasn't sure if there was something I could check or if it needs to be brought in for service. Any advice would be helpful as my wife was both thrilled with the purchase in the first place.....I fear I will be sleeping outside In the loader if I have to bring it in for service already ????

You may need to have the joysticks recalibrated.
Any updated status on this? Mine is doing the same thing. Deere 320D. Was fine until I changed the filters and now has the jerky motion when lowering

when I worked for a rental company we had a 260 deere that had a lose suction hose to the main hydrualic pump at the pump which allowed it to suck air in the system it operated rough it also got so bad people thought the hydrualic tank was leaking, I replaced the oring on the fitting to the pump and retopped the fluids and after a few cycles everthing was fine, I am thinking you sucking air in some place.
