To drive the machine forward, do you have to pull the stick forward, or is it only sideways movement for the steering??

... well, as far as I can see from this picture, there ain't no pedal for trotteling this pice of red junk... so it'll better be located at the joystick. Mabye it's the wheel on the top of the stick. D "Ground control to major Tom, take your protein pills and put your helmet on" *laugh* ... would've been nice to try it, though.

Set hand throttle on right like the old 300 winch. Speed control on dial on this joystick. Very touchy....

Ole, it was very sketchy. push forward to move straight , back etc. Had a very big delay from forward to back. Not good when cleaning out top of tram bays. Good concept but it was the only one we saw and this was in 2006 . I think it did not take off as a production model in the states. If you ever saw the bombardier Yeti it was the same idea . One drive control on one joystick, set throttle.

It wasnt produced in Europe either. Would imagine that two regular chop-sticks would work better? In the Formatic G450 there is a slight delay from making a turn to straighten up the machine again.... Even if the controls are aligned forward, the machine continues to turn for a while.... Is the PB's with stick controls better? No delays when turning or stopping/starting etc.?

You can ajust the teach in computer on the new PB's to for the throw in the sticks in reaction time. We had problems with t he first Park Bullys with the paddles. They would either lose calibration or offset from each other. The 600 with sticks was great. No more paddles. I operated the first 200 with paddles for a few nights. It had two problems. You would smash your hand into the door with the paddles when going forward and they had no set throttle. You had to use your foot throttle with the sticks..... It was silly. This was 2000.
