I have a post over in Owning/Operating which asks folks to give me hints on how to come up to speed on the backhoe. I'm very uncoordinated and it's taking me a long time to get the hang of it.
One fellow told me this - which says that my tractor, a Kubota L35, was hard for him too because the controls seemed to be 'all on' or 'all off'.
Well I'm not the best to judge because I am still learning and have plenty of jerky motions with my hands/arms going in the wrong directions. But it does seem to me that I have to very carefully move the joystick to get the different backhoe motions to move slowly. I almost have to push it with a couple of fingers to get the motions slowed down.
Is there a way for me to adapt my hydraulics so that the joystick is more gradual in its operation? Or is that effect due to a basic engineering design on my backhoe valves?
Thanks.
