Looks like I can't run a 3 stick backhoe with foot swing controls.

New found respect for us case 4 stick guys? Would you like to come fill in for me for a few days now diggin around utilities in the street with a 580?

@Diggerkid Give me a week and I think I'd be pretty good at it, still aint as hard as grading with a motor grader

[copperheadmarine]

@letsdig18 Any particular motor grader? Maybe and old 562-b Champion with AC and a kick ass radio? Oh and double the HP than any other 562 in existance? OR no not that one?

[letsdig18]

@copperheadmarine your right the radio kicked my ass, I couldn't even figure out how to cut the damn thing on! LOL and I don't like having to get out to shift the stuck gear shifter haha

[diggerdave51]

LoL, Chris you still are doing a pretty good job. On my 580SE there are 4 stick the 4th is for the ext-hoe. and the foot swings too. If you want to get more confused jump on a older Ford backhoe with just the 4 sticks

[letsdig18]

@diggerdave51 this one had 4 sticks in it along with the foot swing. someone just told me it was called a 3 stick

@letsdig18 now go drive a all stick skidder. they are fun to learn how to steer with just a stick. oh and don't for get you must pin it wide open your first time and drive down a narrow trail with no brakes haha that was a interesting day for me haha

"i have to think thats the problem" haha. I started at a new company and what do you know they have a 4 stick 590L. i only have a few hours on it but i think it fun to run so far. definitely a different animal than a 2 stick

Hahah Chris it's hilarious watching you looking all around the cab like wtf kind of setup is this!?

Hey don't feel bad, I can pick your pocket with a footswing Case, but can't seem to make wobble sticks do what I want!!!

4 stick with the swing foot is easy, just as easy as joystick

[AlexKall]

Is this machine from the 1980? Or is it newer, if so why is it 4 stick? I'm from scandinavia and have never seen a 4 stick in my life, thought it was rather interesting. Going to be lerning how to drive backhoe loader in the beginning of Januari next year. Sorry for grammer errors or crappy spelling, English is a second language for me.

Idle it down, & it will be smother till you learn the controlls...wont have as much digging power, and swing will be slower, but to learn forget about idleing it up.

[Diggerkid]

[theoman69]
