I saw a video on CAT.com on how the new controls work on the new M series machines I bet it would take a bit of time to get into it. No steering wheel just the joysticks.

Suprisingly, guys who have never driven a grader before have picked it up in a couple of hours, its quite intuative once you sit down, the problem comes with an old hand who has spent years "playing the piano" then tries to sit there with just two levers..

I drove a 14M through our local carnival last year and had no troubles at all, even winding down the side streets.
