[QUOTE="Voit, post: 123388, member: 22631"] Hello all... After many years of operating all kinds of construction equipment and tractors I am just now joining the skidsteer realm. For many reasons I have just not liked the concept of them and have never really even operated one. I always had enough other things around that were more for a specific purpose. Now I am looking to have one machine for many jobs, so I am going to give one a try. It will also be the newest and most modern piece that I have ever owned. What I am getting is a New Holland C238 which is all electronic and Tier 4 etc. I seems like an act of god to even get the thing running and working with all of the safety sequence things that have to happen. I work by myself and I am so used to hopping on and off a machine to deal with the working end of things almost constantly. It seems like doing this with a machine like this is going to be frustrating. Like you can't even open the door if the boom is not in specific positions and will the machine even stay running without me in it? I'm a bit old school when it comes to my equipment so am I setting myself up for a stressed relationship with this thing?
