thanks Joe, i notice mine will drop the bucket like a stone with too much stick movement and it will also pull it around too easily.
I will have a go at changing the epa for a few movements to get it more life like and dehorse power it.
If I read the manual( good translation) Ive got no excuses for messing it up.
but I may still ask some dumb questions till i figure it out..

thanks for the advice.
cheers andy
