Hello, I am new to the forum and have a question about the excavator pattern on my newly aquired 1997 JCB 214. I have searched but have not been able to determine if there is a switch or some easy way of switching it to CAT's control pattern. I am used to operating a 420D so this JCB pattern feels foriegn to me. Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks

I bought a new 2000 JCB 214 and had hoses switched to Cat pattern the machine was not a smooth to operate after. I'd leave it be and learn to operate both patterns.
