AZTLANLC,

I stopped by the Bobcat dealer and checked out the MT52 yesterday. It has the cahones to do some serious digging. I went after the rain but it did leave some ruts in the lawn.... I love the kubota diesel, but noticed more vibration than the gas powered Dingo.

One concern I had with the MT 52 was the steering. It was very natural to me and I had no problem getting the machine to move and raise and lower the bucket. However, I couldn't get my left hand to feel comfortable on the speed/direction control. I felt like I was jamming my wrist every time I tried to move the machine forward. The machine was brand new and pretty tight, that could have been my problem.

How do you hold your left hand on the machine? Am I simply 'weak wristed'?
