B2620 HST question ?

Sorry, My post says B260 two times.. Don't know why. Should say B2620.

Thank you all for your feedback and info. I feel much better that there is probably nothing wrong with my new tractor. I plan on it being the last tractor I buy and want it to be trouble free for a long time, which shouldn't be a problem for a Kubota. Maybe all my other tractors don't roll as much on hills because they are so old and the pedals are not completely coming back to neutral, some are stiff and some are sloppy.

I agree with the pedal thing. I have never figured out how I am supposed to have one foot on the hst pedal and a brake pedal at the same time. I could use the speed set/hold, but that just has never seemed like a good idea.

Thanks again,

Don't get me wrong.....I love my 2620. But in studying the brake mechanism underneath the floorboard (contemplating changing the peddle location myself), the only reason I can come up with for having the brakes on the same side as the gas, is because that way it's possible to have a simple, inexpensive release mechanism that will disengage the cruise control when the brakes are pressed. There's no electronics needed. Then again, nowdays, electronics are relatively cheap, so I'd better digress!!!!

I think it's an engineering hold over from when these tractors were gear driven, or when the hydros still had a clutch on the left.
