Now one year old, I will say it does like its fuel. That's the very first thing I noticed when we got the machine, which replaced a t250. The engines power doesn't seem to lack, but what does is the bypass's on the hydraulics. Its hard to bog the engine down when grunting thru something because the bypass will engage and basically stop the machine. This is more noticeable in lifting than traveling. When lifting something (too) heavy, the engine will be running wide open but the lifting ability will just stop. It seems with all of our machines in the past, the engine would bog down and at least try lift heavy objects. Instead of doing nothing when the pedal is engaged. As far as joysticks, I personally favor foot pedals but that's just an opinion. I will say foot pedals are a lot simpler if troubles pop up. We have had issues in the past with our cat skidsteers and hand controls. They aren't cheap fixes with all of the complicated electronics these days. I hope someone else can address your joystick question from a mechanical point of view.</p></blockquote><p></p>
