[QUOTE="500K_773, post: 519, member: 33"] It's easy to operate. Two levers for your left hand control the skid steer operation of the tracks. There are three levers for your right hand to control the lift, tilt, and auxillary hydraulics. The auxillary hydraulic control is a shorter lever which doesn't get in the way. The lift arm lever is closer to the center than the tilt cylinder, which I feel is incorrect. The tilt level seems like it would be easier to operate it if was in between your thumb and index finger and control the lift arm with the heel of your hand and pinky and ring finger. The electric over hydraulic controls for attachments (ie. snow blower chute) are two toggle switchs at the top of the control panel. The machine has high and low speed travel ranges. In high speed, it is a fast walk to keep up with the machine. Reverse is slow in either range. There is also a proportional flow valve to give priority to either the drive or loader hydraulic system depending on the job. I alway keep the machine in low range and max flow to the loader system. The 36” bucket on the machine I am using has the cutting edge nearly worn off. In fact the right side of the bucket is worn right back to the weld where the cutting edge meets the bucket. This makes digging a little bit difficult, but is still many times better than man power. My daughter had a blast shooting video footage. Now I will just have to edit it and post it in the media section. [/QUOTE]
