    I wouldn't even know how to run one of those. I plowed the yard a few times with a 160M, strictly for verifying a repair of course ;)

    I love the twin joysticks on the M's, so easy and they sound wicked when you really feed them the onion.

    I got tasked with re-assembling the tandems on a 12H a while back. When I was done I jumped in the cab to back it out of the bay. Took one look at the tree and just got out of the cab. Figured I'd better ask someone what each lever did before I put a blade through a toolbox or something lol. If I had been out in the yard where it was clear I'd have figured it out myself.

    In my defense, all the labels were worn off though.

    I was tripped out the first time that I got to drive one with the joysticks.

    I do love those kind. Once you figure out where everything is it starts getting real smooth operating real quick.

    Love the loaders with em too, I can throw those around like I've done it forever. Easy to get agressive in.

    At least 1 more and probably 2 or 3 axles with the blade and 20k of steel wheels.

    had it happen again this afternoon…. Although I think it was more of bewilderment, shock, and confusion as to why I’d bring a 315 with a blade in on a beam.

    “See that name on the door?”

    :rolleyes:
