Caterpillar Skid Steer Loader
QUESTION:What Caterpillar Skid Steer Loader Can Do
ANSWER: Skid steer loaders are fairly easy to operate. They can turn within their own footprint, just like a tank.
There are several steps to getting started:
Use the convenient grab handles and steps to climb over the bucket and get in. Fasten your seatbelt and lower the wrap-around armrest.
Turn a key to start the engine, just like you do to start your car engine. If the engine is cold, you might have to wait a few seconds for the glow plugs to warm up.
Release the parking brake to unlock all of the hydraulics.
The loader has a foot throttle, which, like the gas pedal on your car, makes it go faster. It also makes the loader arms move faster.
Operating the loader is simple. There are two joysticks: The left-hand joystick controls direction, and the right-hand joystick controls the loader. Each of the joysticks controls hydraulic valves that regulate the flow of hydraulic fluid to either the hydraulic motors that power the wheels or the hydraulic cylinders that power the loader.
Skid steer loaders have wheels.
