Kubota L4300DT
I've been shopping for a new Kubota tractor and was quite concerned about something on the L3000 (and 2600 I assume) tractors. When operating the LEFT brake, my shoe actually comes in contact with the throttle linkage and pushes it forward (accelerates). In my eyes this is potentially dangerous for obvious reasons and I'm very surprised that this design made it to market this way. Has anyone else noticed this?

Jim I could ask the same question as Bird but, I wear size 12's and have never had the problem. Often when first getting used to a tractor you don't sit the way you might if you were there for an extended time. You might want to study this a little more because if you can't get by the petals I would tell you to look at another tractor.
