[QUOTE="skidsteer.ca, post: 2662, member: 307"] With the G series and up if they have "Advanced hand controls" or the all wheel steer machines, you get into some pretty "fancy" stuff, us "Average Joe" won't have the tools to fix. And yes if you want the protection of the "Boss" without the expense, Murphy Switchguage http://www.fwmurphy.com out of Tulsa, Ok. make simular to "watchdog protection sytems" for $ 200 to $300. There are thousands of engines in service with no operator near by (think generators etc) and they make shutdowns and alarms for these that can be maintained and serviced with basic tools. I had considered, Advanced hand contols for my 773g, (my dad dislikes the foot pedals) but a local tech talk me out of it, just because if they malfunction you need Bobcat test equipment to find the trouble, And parts are not going to be cheap.
