BX cruise control. Do you use it?

[Haywire]

Anyone use the cruise control that the BX is outfitted with? So far I have not had a use for it.

I've used it to go up and down the drive way and lane .Do you
find it doesn't lock to the speed you were doing when selected
but rather it goes slower ? Maybe it's an adjustment somewhere
that's a bit slack .........

I installed one on my BX23, and yes I use it. Gives the leg a rest on occasional long hauls in low gear on rough paths. Use it when mowing too.

My B3030 wouldn't hold when set, called dealer when it was new, he wasn't any help, there is a threaded rod with two nuts locked to each other located along side the right rear tire, I adjusted it, still not holding, but it was better, I removed both nuts and inserted a washer to gain more spring tension, now works great. I have used it when mowing, but have read it's main purpose is when using swing brakes, I read that when using both brakes it disconnects cruise and I tried it, it does. Also read lock either wheel alone and it will not disconnect, haven't tried it, makes sense, otherwise why have swing brakes on a hydro.

I only use it occasionally, and this is why...
