Where is everyone #5

Just remember there are two layouts with skid steers. A stick for each side that goes front back only and foot controls for boom and bucket... And the other is right joystick controls fwd/rev and side/side left joystick does boom and bucket and right foot i think is a gas pedal.

You RRRREALLY want to know which setup youre in before moving on a trailer deck. It might even be wise to find out before unchaining. The operator manual may be behind the seat or nearby. If its a side entry or a mini ex, your left hand console usually lifts up and down and theres probably a red wigwag lever to move that unlocks the controls.

 

When did loader controls move to the left side? Backhoes, loaders, always been on the right of everything I’ve operated.....

 

I like the ISO? pattern (left joystick runs the work tools, right joystick for the drive). I hate the H pattern with 1 stick controlling each side and left-right on each stick running the work tools.

Foot controls suck.

 

Finally in AZ and coming in to Benson westbound I-10. Snagged a $15 permit at the Bowie Port of Entry at 0730hrs and it's off to King City, CA.

 

Sorry. Double post. Just for fun here is the world's longest truck. I took this picture in Williams, IA last week. Pretty cool truck with the extra steering axle in the middle. If you blow the pic up it's easier to see.

 

And nobody died LoL.
The one back on the deck is the older style, 2 joysticks. Mo betta in my opinion for casual users
The one I left behind was the 2 one off, 1 stick pita. The digger was jumpy but at least I could drive forward off the ramp. Which was actually backwards and the sticks were opposite...but I could see where it was going.

 

For years I only ever used cats, got plopped in a new holland, and a deere at buddy's farm. Imagine jerking off with a fork and a spoon is what I looked like for a few hours.

 

These new machines with the electronic controls are the cat's ###. Push a button to change the pattern to whatever suits ya.

 

Still feel like I been run over. But need to get somethings done. This cold snap is killing me.

How ever spruced up the wife patio set for the front porch. Because I refused to let her buy new cushions. Should have let her buy them.




Really could use a few more coats. But that spray dye is some nasty stuff to breath in.
