Anyone know of a good service center in Sherwood park area that works on Cat skid steers.

Guy I have now doing it is not the best....

All I can think of is W. R. Scott on the South side.

Rather not have to hoof it to the west end (wife will be driving truck and trailer)

being a FINNING employee, I'm trained to say call us.....

however, call Jobsite Mechanical, Lenard (Mighty1000) on here is one of their field techs, not sure of their rates though.

Sorry for the random question but a cat skid steers can't run in H patten they only run in ISO patten is that right?

I think it's more of the common standard now and to be honest once you run it for a day or so I find it much easier to control.
I've tried running the newer bobcats that are switchable and it's just so awkward. I'm guessing your use to running older jd or cases?

They can install what we call a "pattern changer". I don't know how much it costs but it's a rocker switch and a change using our laptop and a code from Caterpillar. When the switch is in position "A" its ISO, when in position "b" it's "H-Pattern" like a Bobcat

Yeah I like the new cases I ran a 320 most of summer has good power compared to a bobcat before that it was t770 bobcat I don't like the quick attach of the bobcat either.

I'm assuming H pattern is where each stick controls the wheels on that side, and ISO is where one stick is the wheels and one stick is the bucket? If so then I also find the ISO really annoying after how many hours I've spent running an old bobcat lol

Hey T what models is that on though, because I've never seen it on any of the Bseries machines.
