OK guys, get used to it. There have been prior posts re. the LA 482 loader (check them, there's little new on this forum). First off, the bolt on the joystick control, going into the center piston (of 3), tends to "back out" (i.e., loosen), and you should check such, and if loose, screw it back in after applying medium strength "lock-tite". If that is not the problem, you can adjust (screw in or out 1/4 turn at a time) the adjustment screw (take off the housing over the pistons to see it) on the center piston (that's the up/down control) to alter the speed (the right piston, as you sit in the tractor, is the curl control). There are other adjustments for the hydraulics on the tractor, but most (on this forum) have had problems with the 2 (of 3 - the last being a 'blank' unless you've a 4 in 1 bucket or a rear hydraulic take-off) pistons connected to the joystick. Good luck - lots of us have had to figure this problem out - in mine, the loader would drop quickly, but raise very slowly - yours may be different, but the problem (aside from a general hydraulic glitch) tends to be in that FEL control. Good luck. PS - my 3410 worked perfectly until about 80 hours, and it still does, once I figured out the FEL foibles.
