[QUOTE="brdgbldr, post: 120968, member: 7474"] I’m not familiar with your specific machine, but please do not drive with the bucket in the air. It never ends well. However, you are totally correct in the way you are letting go of the levers to get it to stop bucking. If you fight it you will loose. A lot of skid steers buck. Sometimes this can be caused by something as simple as the tires not being inflated to the correct pressure. The trick of course with any new machine is to take it real slow until you get used to it. You may want to back the throttle off when you move the machine. Not enough that the machine stalls, but enough so that your not at full power when you try to move. When the machine is at full RPM and you go to move too quickly, it’s like revving up a car engine and then dropping the clutch to peal out. In the case of a skid steer, it wants to do a wheelie, and when the weight comes back down on the front tires they bounce up and the fun begins. [/QUOTE]
