Skid steer loaders are run by hydraulic motors. The engine runs the hydraulic
pump (or pumps depending on model). The pump powers the drive motors(one on
each side). The speed of the loader is controlled by varying the amount of
fluid going to each motor. The operator has two levers, one for each side.
push forward on both and the you go forward. Pull back on both and you go
backwards. Move one and just one side will move. Push one forward and one back
and you rotate in place. The farther you move the lever the faster you will
go.
Just by chance I was working on a Deere 317 skid steer today. We have several
models at our shop right now. If you(or anyone) needs pictures or info I’d be
happy to help.

This is not what I’m searching for:
I watched the safety-video on the Bobcat-webpage
http://www.bobcat.com/products/aws/videosSafety2.html (70 Mb!) and the
steering system is a bit different. There is only one joystick for steering,
both for skidsteer mode and all wheel steer mode. This is the steering system I
implemented in my creation (so far I’m not 100% satisfied with the all wheel
steer mode... but I’m working on it) and I will also have only one joystick on
my remote controller. I am considering of getting rid of the 2-speed mode
(merely by lack of space...).
PS: don’t expect results within the next couple of months, it’s going really,
really slow...

| (...) I see now what you mean by all wheel steering. Deere dosen't offer steering on their skid steer loaders. The control layout is different too. If I can be of any help just ask. I would like to see your MOC when its done. (18 years ago, 29-Apr-06, to lugnet.technic, FTX)
