thanks for the video, before I get a skid steer I wanted to make sure I was gonna be able to get in there and drive it, is this the best skid steer model for paraplegics? or, would you suggest another one easier to get in? what about using a sliding board to get in there? sorry for all those questions but being a paraplegic is not easy and everything needs to be carefully planned, thanks again for the videos.
Basically, just make sure it has JOYSTICK controls and does not require you to use any foot controls. Then, if there is a door, make sure that it opens enough for you. Some doors do not open to 90 degrees even. Rubber tracks are a lot more useful than tires but also more expensive.
Most all CAT will have Pilot Controls (that is what you need). Most Bobcats will need to use your feet unless it says SJC Controls. I highly suggest TRACKED instead of WHEELED for the machine. If you do not need a full cab with door, then get open cab as it will be easier to get into. Just check out the amount of space you have and the things you have to grap ahold of for the transfer. First transfer or two may be rough but you will get it.
That was very cool ! Thanks for the video !!
