I am thinking of upgrading from my BX2360 to a B2601 and test drove one at my dealer and was surprised to feel how stiff the HST pedal is especially in reverse. It felt like I was trying to drive it with the brake still on (it wasnt).

Do those of you who own either models find the same thing a very stiff HST pedal?

Is there a way to loosen the HST pedal?

Just looking to see if those who own one of these tractors noticed the same thing.

I have a B2601 for about a year now and have same problem but just got use to it . I think it is just a bad design, but over all I really like how it operates .

Mine only seems stiff in reverse but I am getting the hang of it, I***8217;ve only had the tractor a few weeks so I***8217;m sure with a little more time I won***8217;t even notice it. Honestly I think there***8217;s more harm in it being super easy to press than a little stuff, so safety reasons.
