    Personally as an old equipment operator, you have a great machine here. I tend to lean on the CAT side of excavators but John Deere is right there. I always loved the CAT 320. Very good all round machine. Here is a tip you must learn. Use your finger tips to control the sticks. Never get a full hand of grip on the sticks. You will have much more control especially when fine tuning or in tight places.

      A friend of mine tried running my 3000lb mini ex and he held the controls with a death grip. Told him the same as you suggest and he was amazed at the difference. I'm thinking he will be better with his backhoe controls as well.

    Looks like that machine is set up with a SAE control pattern (backhoe controls). I would recommend changing it over to the ISO control pattern.There should be a lever somewhere, most likely under the seat to change the control pattern. Most full time excavator guys run ISO, I found it to be much more intuitive when I was learning. Whichever pattern you learn on will most likely be the one you prefer going forward. Give it a try, you might find you prefer the ISO controls. I sure did, seemed to make way more sense to my brain for some reason. Just feels more natural.

    If you're going to track material aroud with the excavator, I'd recommend making sure you have a full load before doing so. Excavators move very slowly so you lose a lot of time by tracking with small loads.

    is the financial legal corporate system trying to hide that they are a business, that is only voluntary! should any corporation, business, service, have authority to force anything to do business in their "jurisdictional by-law authority" it's codes, rules? mcdonalds,? wendy;s? the corporate health department? the polls department? the lobbying department? licensing department etc... it's president and stock holders? popeye's chicken, it's stock holders? force your children to act as a slave to any corporation, business, service? this is what hitler did, stalin, lenin etc... the birth certificate is a corporate legal business, signed by the corporate registrar general, used as legal jurisdictional authority over any child and it's property, that has one. when any business wants to trick anyone to volunteer to their jurisdictional authority in their business, ask them to put in writing and send it to you. just state you do not want their business service, they may take you to court, before a jury of men and woman, with proof, state why you do not need the business service they offer. creatively remove the understanding(standing under) volunteering, consent into slavery, choose to be creatively free.
