I'm replacing an aged forklift with a late model Hyster that just came off lease. The dealer says it is full electronic, all the controls are switches in the right arm rest. It looks pretty cool, but its a 4 hour drive one way to go test drive it. He says he also has the same model same year with traditional manual levers he can offer instead. We do a lot of delicate lifting and I really think having the mechanical "feel" of those manual valves is important. Dealer said he could adjust the switch sensitivity in the software, but I can't change it once he sets it with his computer. It's a somewhat major purchase, and I'm really concerned the electronics will not have the tactile feedback we are used to. Didn't help that I had a DT466e break a tiny pin in the ECM connector this week, tow bill and rebuilt ECM module cost $2500, so I'm kind of in a funk about electronics on heavy equipment in general. I know a lot of the newer tractors have electronic hydraulic controls, is there a noticeable difference in operator feel?

At any rate we decided that a compression test was in order so we could verify the internal engine status. That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a
