Neutral gear start bypass

[WinterDeere]

If it weren't for lawyers, no safety devices would be installed on anything.

The people everyone loves to hate... until they need one.

I have to deal with lawyers fairly frequently for both business and estate issues. Not all bad people. A good friend actually moved out of engineering, went and got his law degree in our late 30's or early 40's, and now works as a patent attorney.

Considering the number of people reporting the hst pedals sticking (including me), the neutral safety sounds like a good idea. If you're in low, the parking brake isn't going to help.

Disabling safety switches on your own equipment is something that a lot of people think isn't a big deal. Fast forward to when you are gone and a neighbor is asked to move the tractor out of the way so your grandkids can get to something behind it. The neighbor starts the tractor from the ground and it runs over your grandkids...
Not something I really want to consider, and I don't loan my tractors out unless I am there!

Is having your transmission in neutral for engine starting, really a big chore on this particular model?
Neutral start safety switches have to be one of the most basic, and reasonable, safeguards on modern machinery.
