    Why the Chinese manufacturers will never be on top.

    Daewoo - Doosan owns Bobcat. It's coming. The sad part is, everything has a price.

    Control pattern

    My question was about the pattern, not free advice what to do. If you have no idea how to answer the question I asked, please take your advice to a different section. I have plenty of experience on a crane. Thanks.
