I learned to operate a back hoe using a 2 cylinder 40 series JD that had 4 hand levers.The swing cylinder was attached to a round drum with cables. Needless to say after the cables got worn and sloppy in order to hit the trench you would have to start dropping the boom a couple of feet before the trench otherwise the boom would end up way past where you wanted it. In 1964 as a southamore in HS the boss got a new 300 series Jd. with twin sticks. It took a long time to break the habit of dropping the boom early when swinging. Learning the twim sticks was a piece of cake. Never tried any with foot swings.
