[QUOTE="CaptRon , post: 14826, member: 894"] Tazza, Thanks for the reply. The standing isn't so bad and the visibilty is fantastic. This helps a lot in getting out of the way of falling things. Plus the self leveling bucket does not lift directly over your head so you can't roll it back and dump dirt on yourself. I have done this with my uncle's BC however, right through the top of the cage. Just to get to the seat of a machine you have to climb over the bucket and then turn 180º to sit down. By the time you do that I'm already cranked and working, in the course of a day this amounts to a considerable time savings. Most of the time an operator won't get out unless he absolutely has to, instead he'll sit there and blow the horn. Yes, I can load more with the straight bucket but I can load faster with the 4n1 since it is a larger bucket. Unless the 4n1 is already attached then the time savings is lost in hooking up hoses. Plus there is the added advantage of not having to shovel the last little bit of material into a straight bucket. The drive motors are on the front wheels with a chain drive to the rear wheels. It is standard hydraulic with a single pump. The drive levers are valves that you have to throttle with your thumbs and index fingers. The machine is easy to operate and I've put some total novices on it with just a few minutes of instruction. Of course a mini is no replacement for a large machine on a large job but they definately have a place on small work in tight places. It doesn't call in sick, disappear after lunch, and you don't have to learn a foreign language. Bottom line, it works for me and I'm happy with mine. CaptRon [/QUOTE]
