Hi
I today demo'ed a Bobcat B200 which I intend to purchase. One of the things that I discovered during my demo was that when the vehicle is operational and one rotates the seat to operate the backhoe, part of the seat displaces the lever that controls the bucket, resulting in an uncommanded raising/lowering/rotation of the bucket. This seemed quite dangerous, so I am wondering why this is ocurring ? Wrong seat ? Or wrong bucket control lever ? Or is one supposed to shut off the machine before rotating the seat and then re-start it afterward ?
The vehicle was a 2003 B200 with about 1400 hours on it and in original condition.
