I almost had it sold but it didn`t happen so it getting traded in.
I still have to try out a dual control Monday to see if I want the hand control option that I can switch between foot/hand controlls.

To me foot controls are alot more natural after almost 30 years but my knees have been bothering me alot in the last few years, the dual controlls should help.

I tried dual controls out before this last Bobcat and didn`t like `em at all. I`ll give it another try now, they`ll probably work out ok.

I guess so, its like havin one hand tied behind my back using hand controls but it all depends on what type of job I`m doing. The hardest will be doing final grade where I have to only shave off an inch or so in real hard packed ground.

I`m sure I will get the hang of hand controlls but it`s strange and fairly awkward to relearn something I`m so used to I can do in my sleep.....

thats true, but if its dual controls, you can keep the precise situations under control with your feet until you're used to the hands right??

That`s what my plan is and alot of the time I won`t need real precise control, only in certain situations so I can get lots of practise using the hand control function. A switch hitter....
