You ever drive an articulated machine?
I ask, because I know my PT requires a bit of steering correction because once you tell it to turn at a certain angle, it will keep turning on that radius until you change course. It cannot straighten itself out. Not possible. There is no caster/camber/toe, etc... as on a vehicle with a front axle. Heck, there is NO front axle at all. :laughing:
Yes, I have driven both a articulated and a skid steer back when I was a walking guy 35 years ago.
I used to work on all kinds of equipment, was a mechanic, and worked on most any kind of construction equipment from a Bobcat to a Gradall. Our company sold them all.
I remember the feel kind of, but was just wondering since it had been so long, and remember the feel to be kind of like driving a fork lift with rear steering in a way.
