New Bobcat E50, when I first tried using the hydraulic thumb while tracking the machine it made the machine slow down, almost like you were in a car and someone punched the brakes. I returned it to the dealer and picked it back up a couple weeks ago.

Finally used it yesterday and while the braking issue seems to have been resolved, the hydraulic thumb takes 6 seconds to fully open or close. This seems like a really long time and I'm wondering if its normal or not. I've used an E35 before and I remember the thumb being much faster.
