yes power going to deadman

but is it coming from the deadman and going where it should?

 

[V8Druid]

Right, we need to get on the same page here.
So everything else is working bar the boom? Slew and bucket etc are work?

absolutely - establish what is or isn't working - if bucket crowd and dipper are functional it's most likely not a deadman issue at all

 

[Storrsy]

and the off set probably ?

Offset on those are done on the joysticks. Press a button on the left hand and it changes from slew to offset.

Yeah a crap idea

 

[V8Druid]

Yeah a crap idea

well believe that ... no facility to offset and slew simultaneously

Used to do my head in on my old Kubota. Completely ruins the flow! Why in the other thread some saying the 2nd auxiliary on the joystick is shared with the offset function. Personally I'd prefer to have a dedicated pedal for the offset and keep the prop rollers dedicated to aux functions. Preferably a pedal that goes forward and back rather than side to side

See I much prefer side to side than front to back. Way more intuitive for offset and tilt bucket, but you use em for your day job so assume there are many reasons why front back preferred?

It's one of those things I really miss along with proper tracking pedals ....makes a small machine feel really numb

To operate a side to side you have to lift your whole leg- Vs just rocki g your foot back and forward (like a track pedal) sounds small thing but if your using offset a lot it gets wearing. Just getting used to the different motions I guess

To be fair Wacker up the only ones I know off that have the offset on a forward and back pedal. Might be others but all my Taks are side to side

Bobcat is front to back on e17/19

 

[Stroppymonkey]

ditto E10

 

[hiluxman]

ditto E10

E10 is side to side offset.

 

[Stroppymonkey]

E10 is side to side offset.

Bugger. I'm thinking off the aux pedal of course.

I hardly ever use offset - will try harder going forwards (apologies for my crapness, I’ll cancel my account immediately if so required)….

You have a tilty, your not permitted the use of offset!

Depends ...I use offset with gripper to grab my thermal coffee cup up and pass it into cab without having to sit up

Hardly dare mention the f@#king thing nowadays tbh

 

[Dougie Anderson]

What I was gonna say was change over the solenoids for pilot and fast track and if any hydraulics come back when you operate the fast track!

changed over 2 fast ttsck now lifts
