I was looking at a 96' 555e at my dealer for sale. This is a 2wd with standard hoe. There is a button on one of the backhoe control levers. I can't seem to figure out what it is for?
must saw it on the front loader lever,,, its to stop movement of backhoe when dumping load from front bucket,,, probably another one on the floorboard
Yes, probably like Jimg says... it's a transmission disconnect button so you can get more power to the lifting without it going to the drivetrain, a lot of loader's will have them on the loader controls.
I did see the button on the loader lever that disconnects the trans. The one I was trying to figure out is the button on one of the backhoe levers. It has the two stick controls. It is definitely a factory setup too.
In the picture above you can see the button thats built into the left jostick.
Hmmm... hadn't seen one like that before... are there auxiliary hydraulics on it? maybe for a packer???
Is it maybe a return to center or dig Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk
Horn?
Ejector seat.
On the left hand control for the backhoe the switch is the horn.
