    Some basic information about Excavator in China

    new Deere skid steers

    There are three options on the D series for control - Foot pedals & hand levers, just hand levers, and then the EH Pilot controls. How is the boom/bucket controlled on the strictly hand levers option? Are they thumb switches on the handles?

    pistons

    Ok you know what... Ok you know what.. my apologies here. I just re-read through this entire thread thinking that I missed something and I *am* the one that totally side tracked this conversation at the point of my post quoted above. I thought the conversation was still going on about...
