Loggers question time...
Hoechuckers or excavators converted to a grapple, rotator and heel; in BC is there a standard layout for controls or are they all different?
I'm assuming the joystick functions for the base machine are as usual. On a roadbuilder that has a thumb, a bucket, and a heel/rotator/grab too, I imagine might be set different to say a madill 3800. Unless the madill uses the right hand joystick for the heel.
Our 360 has a solenoid valve to switch the oil from the heel to the rotate, with a button on top of joystick to change between. It's ok but can get muddled sometimes. Grab is buttons on front underside of joystick, which is ok.
Cheers.
