Okay I'm glad that you guys all responded. When I originally asked the question about the button, I was referring to the torque converter lock button on the power reversing joystick. I did not realize there was another button on the loader joystick. So if I'm reading the responses correctly, the button on the loader joystick basically puts the transmission in neutral, so that I can rev up the machine without moving directionally, therefore giving more hydraulic power to the loader, and stopping the machines movements without having to switch the directional shifter into neutral or applying the brakes, correct?
And also, by pressing the torque converter lock button on the power reverser joystick, while moving forward, basically it's like a cruise control locking the transmission rotation with the engine output, correct? Is this a feature that MUST be used? Or is it an accessory there as a convenience?
Do any of you know how the loader float is controlled? Is it similar to my current machines where there is a notch when you throw the loader joystick all the way forward?
