Control Pattern Help
Tried out a TL 150 today and now have some questions. The controlls were all hand, but the bucket was on one stick, and the other stick controlled the forward/backward movement. I like the case pattern alot better, so im trying to figure out what the TL150 had so I avoid purchasing a machine with pattern. I must say the TL150 is huge, and the cab is great. I almost think I would rather have one of them over anything else.

Just tell the dealer to change it to case pattern, the Gehl's (same thing) were always sold with the Case Pattern

You can also give the TK pattern a try, once your used to it it is great, Make the sale contigent on them changing it if you can not get the hang of it.

Oooooh! I understand. The Takeuchi has "ISO" or "Cat-style" controls.
I misread your post, wanabe. Sorry!

Cat control is so much easier, you will never go back.

It is really great for backing up because you can shift your body further around since you only have one stick to move.
