BX 1880 VS Gr2120

[William1]

The B, BX, is is separate pedals, the GR, no, one pedal.

I'm still confused ...

This is what I call a "treadle PEDAL" ... From my manual.

I only use the toe of my foot to operate it, top -down for forward, underside - up to back up ... I don't back up much!

I just went out to the barn to take this picture of my L5030, is your BX like this? (Brake pedals at the top)

This is my Massey Ferguson, the rubber pads kept slipping off, so I screwed them on, give better traction when muddy too!

I prefer the side by side style better, but may be just that's what I started on, and have 735 hours on it, (and what I have the loader/forks on!) and only 20 hours on the Kubota, and most of that time is with the cruise control on!

Shawn, how comfortable is the treadle operation on your L? I'm just thinking ankle pivoting Vs stepping on. I can see mowing for three hours, it getting tiresome holding bent foot.

To be honest, I really don't like it! But honestly I don't really like change either! As a long distance truck driver I'm use to using the ball of my foot to operate the pedals, using the heal is so unusual for me, I think I probably could get use to the setup that @Sawdust&Shavings shows, than mine ...

But since I mow for 4+ hours, and it's mostly all wide open, I just use the cruise control!

Mine is similar to the GR, but not as much of an angle ... Looking at floor level. ..
