You can drink a beer with one hand, and drive the machine with the other.
The only thing good about ISO is it allows you to drive across the yard with one hand. That’s it, the old H pattern is better in every other
I'll argue that every day, all day. Old H pattern with foot controls is good, true H pattern with no foot controls SUCKS. It's just awkward to push my arm forward, and try to twist my wrist to control the bucket while moving. Its 2 completely different actions, using both sides of the brain. ISO uses the right side of the brain for machine movement and the left side of the brain for loader function.
I got a new T770 at work with ISO, It was a tough learning curve the first few times but i love it now. Can't hardly run dad's old 863 with foot controls anymore I've gotten so spoiled with the ISO.
