What was the first year Bobcat used joystick controls in skid steer loaders, and were there any problems with them in the beginning (early year models)?
if you are asking about a SJC or AWS steer machine, somewhere around '03 or so. the early joysticks had a round bottom. there were some issues with water/dirt contamination messing with the electronics. later versions had a square base, and are much better. :drinkup
