I sure am glad that i found this site, because i would be screwed if i had to depend on the Bobcat dealership. You ask a question and they look at you like your an idiot. I bought my first implement today, a root grapple and this thing is going to be the ticket. I hooked every thing up and it works great, except for me pinching a hose right off of the bat and spraying me and every thing around me with hyd. fluid.( My screw up for not checking pinch points first). But on my 1998 751, there is a trigger on the right control stick and i have no idea what it does. Will some body please tell me what this thing does? Thanks
 
The trigger will toggle the hydraulic flow on and off, for attachments that need constant flow, like a backhoe. I 'think' in 98 you hit aux switch in dash once to enable thumb switch(one light) and a second time to enable thumb and trigger switches(2 lights) The constant flow should be in the same direction as holding the thumb switch to the right.

In my machine you can also reverse the constant flow with the trigger. I haven't done this in awhile but I think if I hit the button on the dash twice and then use the thumb toggle switch to reverse the flow and then pull the trigger the flow will remain reversed without holding the thumb toggle. I'm pretty sure that is how it works but I could be wrong. This is very useful with a harley rake.

I'll have to try that. get tired of holding that switch after while.
