Afternoon all. Newbie here. Maybe 4 hours on a skid steer . I can do the basics, loading , back dragging, etc. I have been on 2 older models and when you push on both paddles , it goes... This S150 maybe 10 y/o ,, anyway ,, when I try pushing both paddles a bit quick, the dam thing bucks , rocks, and jerks.. If I get halfway with both paddles then just push the right one to full ,, No bucking,, ???? I keep the left paddle a bit back and just use it to steer.. Am I doing something wrong, or is that just the nature of the beast?? The Cat was bought used, from a large company and was completely re done. All new electronics , hoses, etc. Any help on how to finess this kitten will be appreciated ... Yep
 
Are you talking about the steering levers?
If so, check that the linkages in the pump are tight, jerkyness like this is common when the connetions are loose or worn, i have a S250 that had this exact issue when i bought it, turned out the aluminium parts that mounted to the pump had worn.
