Default How to operate a Bobcat S300

Need to know by Monday, we need to figure out enough about it to drive
a Bobcat S300 on a trailer. I looked up online and found only junk and
webspams.

Thanks

Just like any other piece of equipment, Ig. Fire it up, and start playing
with the controls. Five minutes, and I'd say you could drive it good enough
to get it on a trailer. Find the lift of the bucket, and raise that a
quarter to a third for loading, then just find left, right, forward,
backwards. If it has joysticks, it takes a very light touch. I like the
old lever actions, as you can tell how much pressure, and when it jumps, it
doesn't cause your joystick hand to push hard and away ye go.

I'm having fun with my Montana 4344 backhoe and front end loader. Except
being a little jerky, it took me just about half a day to get the hang of
the backhoe so I didn't break any more trees, fence posts, or helpers.
