Sioux County, NWIA		Yea, I would agree servo controls don’t really have any feedback, and I guess most of the pilot controls I’ve run don’t have much either. I would prefer either pilot or servo control to E/H though. Compared to direct control (like the hydro on an 1835B) a servo control is quite numb, but at least the reaction is more linear than an E/H system where you are telling a computer what you want the machine to do and the computer decides how much to move the hydros or valve spools. I’ve kind of concluded that E/H systems are programed to make an inept operator into a mediocre operator, but at the same time the E/H programing succeeds in making a skilled operator into a mediocre operator also. At least that was my experience with CAT. I spent a lot of time on the Case 1835B which has mechanical swash plate control and mechanical loader control. That has ruined me for anything else. The Case 420 we had for a while was a servo hydro with mechanical loader valves. Ok, but you can’t feel very well what the hydros are doing. Then the CAT 226D which has all the feed back of a video game. Then throw in a slightly wonky joystick potentiometer for some extra irritation.
