It operated it like a big bad-a** snowblower ...only with
treads, a bucket and some 'hoist' levers that were counterintuitive for
me,
because they were opposite from the machines in my old forklift days.

Yup, that was different - I kept dumping my load when I wanted the bucket
to
tilt up. I got it pretty well figured out by the time the berm was
completely knocked down and spread around :-)

At one time, the local equipment rental place had a Bobcat, and a New
Holland brand skid steer. They were both about the same size, but one hat
the controls for the bucket on the feet, wheels with the hands. The other
machine was completely opposite. Wanna' talk confused, when going from one
to the other? g
