Skid steer question

[notjustair]

The hardest part for me about running the skid steer to clean out lots and work on fencing is the arthritis in my hands, neck, and back. My hands fatigue and fall asleep pretty quick because of the disks in my back and neck and my hands get pretty tired.

On a Deere 323E is there any way to adjust or change the joystick tension? I am pretty sure that if they took less effort to run I could be in it all day. They have always been tough but as I get older I notice it more. I would assume then are tensioned by springs - can those be changed to a softer spring so I have less effort to move he joysticks? I?ve tried the internet to no avail but I know there are lots of folks here who work on them and run them.

Does that machine have foot controls, a friend has a 325 Deere with foot controls. it takes a good amount of pressure to operate the hand controls when moving the machine around, the bucket foot controls are even worse, especially if you have a bad ankle.
Don't know what's needed to soften the tension on a Deere's controls but that's turned me against ever owning one.

My ASV skid steer has Cat joystick controls, takes very little effort to operate the controls and the bucket operates in the same manner as our tractor front end loaders or any other rubber tired or tracked loader I've ever operated.
