CAT D7 man

Even though I havd been in the dirt moving business for a good many years, there are still some pieces of machinery that KICK MY BUTT. Do any of you guys face the same problem? Just ain't got the knack for some equipment?
For example, a couple of my bosses have made the costly mistake of insisting (over my protests) on putting me on a NorthWest dragline or shovel. The end results were VERY disappointing (to them - predicatable for me). It just doesn't make sense to put me on a crane that swings with left hand and where the hoist clutch is the left lever.
Another travesty is a Bobcat skid steer. My feet WILL NOT operate a bucket. No way no how.
