Help! Ford 555 Backhoe question
Does anyone know if a Ford 555A can easily be converted from 4 stick to 2 stick controls? Need an answer asap. Thanks

Of course it comes down to personal preference, but I prefer the 4 sticks too. What it amounts to is it's really your hands that do it without much thought. That's what got me in trouble when I owned a foot swing Case and a Ford at the same time thinking it would save me from changing buckets so much. The levers are in different positions and my hands couldn't sort it out. You can think it out but your hands work automatically while your attention is on the bucket.
I never did like the wobble stick on Ford loaders either.
