Got a new to me 246c. I belive has e/h controls as opposed to the pilot controls im used to. I have to say im not impressed at all. I was working with some sticky dirt loading into truck, the machine is so unresponsive that it wouldn't even "shake" bucket. Only thing i can think is that it is stuck in self leveling mode, which may affect the tilt responsiveness. It also wont accelerate fast enough to scoop up that last little bit of dirt or rubble. its not a 2 speed, but does have amics, i tried adjusting bucket speed, but it only changes the lift and not the tilt. if this is how e/h is than im gonna have to learn to use my feet and switch to BC or but older cat with piolt. I had a 226b, 262b and 287b which were all very responsive.
