1531 left/right brakes

[btownacres]

I am considering buying a Massey 1531 hydro. When comparing the Massey to some others I see the Massey does not have separate left & right brakes. A good portion of my use will be in the woods logging out some of my 10 acres for firewood. Does anyone out there with a Massey miss having this feature when they may have had it on another tractor they had before? I guess I'm just wondering if I will regret NOT having this option if I decide to go with Massey.
Also, how do Massey owners like having the brakes on the side side at the throttle? I had also noticed this is different with Massey.
thanks

There has been a lot of discussion about this lately in one of the other forums. I don't remember is it was the NH or the Kubota. It has something about steer brakes in the title. There are other tractors that have this same set-up and about haveing the brakes on the throttle side.
