For anyone interested, if you run a skid loader in iso, you’re going to feel more comfortable running an excavator in sae because you’re familiar working with your right hand. If you run H pattern in a loader the iso in an excavator is going to feel familiar. Most people start in a skid and iso is easier to pick up, sae in an excavator works similar to what you learned in the loader so the learning curve is quicker.

I learned to run JCB backhoes over 30 years ago in the UK they were JD controls but on an x pattern instead of + . I moved to Canada and didn't run a machine for over 10 years. I was asked to repair a Hitachi excavator on cat controls that I'd never run before. The only instruction was it's in the field "you'll figure out running it" and diagnose the cooling problem. Ok i figured out the pattern ran it less than 4 minutes doing good. Then suddenly the JD pattern came back in my head and I couldn't run it after that as I had to start thinking about it. The real funny thing was 6 years further on after not running anything after that day. I bought a JCB backhoe loader and operating it the first day was like i'd never been off it for all those years. My dad even said when he was watching wow that's like the learning to ride a bike , you never forget once you learned.

I Learnt on Backhoes as a kid but can switch to ISO if required but it takes time and concentration to avoid mistakes. Personally I feel that SAE makes more sense as it puts both digging "force" operations i.e. bucket and stick/dipper on one hand while using you left hand for the "balance" operation i.e. Boom to get your cut level neat. It comes down to what you learn first but I still think logically SAE is a more ergonomic pattern and generally easier to operate well.

When I started working construction in the 80's there were 3 controls. Deere, Cat and Case on backhoes and Deere or Cat on excavators. When I first learned to use a backhoe I was on ranches using tractors from the 60's and where I grew up they were all Deere, so when I went to work it was super easy for me to just use Deere controls on everything. In the 90's till now there has been a pretty steady move away from Deere controls so I had to get good using either style, was like batting lefty, it felt uncomfortable. Now after 35+ years running anything and everything it takes me about 30 seconds to get my head in the right frame of mind and then I go right along....I still prefer the Deere for some reason and on my own equipment everything is set for Deere, though switching to Cat is easy enough if someone is running my iron.

@@HeavyMetalLearning -- By allowing it to switch, you might accommodate operators who have one arm that has limited mobility due to an injury. Whichever controls they use the most could be put on the side with the more healthy arm. And just like some people are right eye or left eye dominant while shooting (even though they might not be the same side handed, maybe that happens with excavator operators. More than likely it is because you have someone who started out on backhoes and eventually moved up to excavators. Besides, once one company provided that capability and put it in their marketing, his competitors would have been asked if they had that feature also, so to be competitive, they would have to add it also.

Thanks for pointing out these differences/options. I have to say that it is very odd in how the modes are switched using a valve vs through cab controls and software. Having the extra fittings, connections, and valve, you would think it would be another part to leak or fail. By using in-cab controls in an odd combination on startup it could have been easier to change. For example pushing the left joystick forward and right pedal all the way down while turning the key switch on and back off once, could put it in one mode and the opposite for the other and eliminating the need for a manually operated valve. I realize this channel is for training and not equipment design, but it was just a thought.

I'd take a manual mechanical switch like the video any day. Fail safe and trustworthy. Some newer iron with EH or electric over hydraulic controls use a electronic switch, button or menu software in the load screen.

Am I the only one here finding out the ISO pattern is SAE pattern. Why ? I’ve been researching online. Some source says an “ISO”pattern is SAE. And the other says SAE IS SAE. DO you know what I mean? I hope you do.

Having never operated an excavator before sae seems like it would be easier personally.

I think whatever pattern you learn initially is your easiest.
@alexmattyspac76053 жыл бұрын
Maybe easier, maybe. Iso is really the standard and if you run someone else's machine it's probably set to run iso. Some machines won't switch as easily as most newer machines do. In my opinion as a hoe operator iso is the right way. Anyone that runs the wrong way is probably old or retired seriously a dying breed of operators.

@@HeavyMetalLearning If memory serves (long time ago), the old Drott rubber tire excavators had 4 or 5 levers on the floor that you ran with your feet, 3 hand manipulated levers and a steering wheel. The OP is most likely referring to the old 4 lever foot-swing case backhoes.

can you change this on any backhoe?

Yes, most newer backhoes have the option to flip between ISO and SAE controls as well.
