WOW!- CRAZY EXcavator/ Skid Loader COMBINED!
What happens here
Monty explains the dual control systems inside the cab. Operators can switch between excavator controls (traditional two-joystick operation with foot pedals for tracks) and track loader controls using a button on the display. In excavator mode, the foot pedals control forward/backward movement, and the joysticks handle boom, stick, and bucket functions. In track loader mode, a single lever controls the loader arm movements (up/down, curl/dump) and steering. He also points out the throttle control.
Goal: Explain the switching mechanism and different control layouts for excavator and loader modes.
