[QUOTE="skidsteer.ca, post: 9349, member: 307"] Actually both of my Bobcat loaders ( 2000 773, 1995 853) I could move the loader from the backhoe seat just by reaching behind myself and pushing the steering levers. Generally I just use the BH stabizers to anchor myself while digging unless the going is really tough, then I set the park brake too. The newer Bobcats from 94 up have the electric park brake that can be released (reached) from the backhoe seat. (you can't unlock the lift or tilt, but you can unlock the wheels with the seat bar still up) So moving the machine is quite easy from the hoe imo. However with other brands of loaders, like my New Holland the only way to set or release the park brake is from the seat, so weather you can move depends on 1 if you need the PB and 2 if you can operate it from the hoe seat or not. I have used a hoe without the top hooks connected but it sucks and the hoe kept leaning away from the loader which had to corrected every 5 minutes. Happy Halloween Ken [/QUOTE]
