  • joystick control

    Does anyone have any info on the last attex's made that had a single joystick instead of the 2 sticks? Id like to make my maxII joystick controlled.

    No info on the Attex but you may want to look at Snapper commercial grade zero turn mowers. They have one that is controlled by a joystick but it is done only through mechanical linkage. It is a very ingenious design. I have one and it works great. Just a thought.

      I had a Gehl 3510 Skid loader that used a joystick control, also mechanical linkage.
      I've ran a Liebherr 632 Crawler Loader, that had a single joystick control, which was Hydraulic over Hydraulic. Great setup!!!! It had a button on top of the stick, that when depressed caused the tracks to counter rotate.

        Thanks alot Mike Thats great I will look into the zero turn snapper linkage. Do you have one retrofitted to a six wheeler or do you have the lawn mower?

          No, sorry, I just have the mower. You may want to lean towards Joe M's suggestion of the Gehl skidsteer joystick. That linkage may be stouter since it's a heavier piece of equipment.

          If you want to go hydraulic or electric your choices are greater but if you stay mechanical you may have a simpler solution.

          Good luck.

            I wonder how the joystick on the Attex MIAMI worked. Does anyone know how?

              I have been searching for a joystick to control just the brakes and found this recently. 2 Servo Joystick

              Check out the linear servos and programming software, too. It looks like it could be an easy application.

              I will post my results if I use these products. I have a 4x4 wheelchair buggy I will use them on first, but if all goes well my Argo is next.
