The way older 331 is scary fast compared to the new one. went through the first seaon and had the dealer do a 12 month checkup. I asked the mechanic to check pressures, especially anything concerning the swing components.The 435 specs out with one of the slowest swing speeds but it had shown a weakness at extreme angles swinging up hill. A week later, the mechanic says the pressures are ok and the slow speed is due to the lack of a counterweight.The work order had a note that there were some hydraulic hoses were hooked up wrong from the factory and that the shop connected them correctly.Thes hoses were in the cooling fan circuit and would dog the engine when the fan came on. When I asked about if you could adjust anything to increase the swing power and he said he wasn't aware of anything. The lack of counterweight doesn't seem right cause the engine doesn't bog down when you run out of swing power like the other hydraulic circuits do when they have resistance. I lean towards a weak relief or circuit design. All the other functions have lots of power relative to engine rpm. Scott</p></blockquote><p></p>
