Bobcat provides operators multiple options to operate their Bobcat compact track loader or skid-steer loader. Bobcat product expert Mike Fitzgerald demonstrates how to use Bobcat standard controls, or commonly referred to as hand and foot controls when working with a Bobcat® loader.

HAND AND FOOT CONTROLS OVERVIEW
Mike provides an overview of the hand and foot controls featuring two hand levers that control drive and steering functions and two foot pedals that control the arms and tilt functions.

TRAVELING &TURNING OPERATION
Mike demonstrates forward travel, backwards travel and basic right and left turns using standard hand controls. Mike then demonstrates fast right and left turns.

STOPPING PROCEDURE
Mike demonstrates how easy it is to stop with standard controls. Stop the machine by returning both hand levers to the neutral position and the hydrostatic transmission brings the compact track loader or skid-steer loader to a complete stop.

FOOT PEDAL OVERVIEW
Mike provides an overview on the foot pedals used to control the arms and tilt, including how to raise the lift arms and how to tilt an attachment forward and backward (bucket in the video).

FLOAT FEATURE FOR ATTACHMENTS
Mike explains and demonstrates how the float feature works to allow certain attachments to follow the contour of the ground for better productivity and work results.

TWO-SPEED TRAVEL (OPTIONAL)
Mike demonstrates how to engage the optional Two-Speed travel for controlling the speeds in which your Bobcat compact track loader or skid-steer loader can travel.
