Bobcat Toolcat 5600T Kioti CK20, Cat D2 dozer, Cat 420 tractor loader, Deer 644E loader, Bobcat E32 mini and Bobcat 590 skidsteer, Toro Groundsmaster 325D
on Sunday figured I would fix my driveway where the side slope was eroding, had a load of fill and started building up the edge, I knew the machine was 2 speed but figured the button was the high speed, it made a difference so I will say I was not very impressed with the high speed but it was faster.

turns out there is another switch well rocker on left joystick, top is a hare bottom is a snail, well its now hyper drive, seems I was doing it all wrong, must say it was quite a difference in travel speed.

what else will I find in the future

Yep, commonly used on many machines:

yes the Toolcat has it and works well, the 590 has a hare button, it speeds up and did for some tears, the other on the left is a rocker style, figured with the hare iluminated the rocker would increase and decrease but it does nothing until the hare light is off, who knew now its a rocket ship

I didn't know this happened on the Bobcat S590. Good to know that.
