If memory serves me correctly, your Thomas is all hand controls, with the longitudinal stick movement controlling the drive and "transverse" stick movement controling the loader functions. I believe Gehl machines also use all hand controls, but one stick controls the drive and the other stick controls the loader functions. Somebody feel free to correct me if I am wrong here. For me, if I have 2 machines that I am going to be using a lot and switching back and forth, I would prefer that they have the same control layout. Other than that, I have heard a lot of good things about Gehl machines, but even a well designed machine is only as good as the maintenance that it recieved by its PO(s).
