Suggests that "the greatest advantages the...joystick-style pilot controls offer contractors is the reduced effort it takes to perform skid-steer tasks." Explains that "a number of skid-steer models equipped with joystick pilot controls allow the operator to program different control settings. The [this] makes the skid-steer favorable to a number of workers with varying preferences, thus catering to more people who can comfortably utilize the machine." Recommends that "contractors demo skid-steers equipped with varying controls to experience the differences in the effort required to run the machine." |
