Kubota B9200 Hydrostat--has the forward-toe/reverse-heel pedal. I find this very awkward to use even after plenty of seat time to feel comfortable with the tractor. I've had occasions where when mounting the tractor I accidentally stepped on the reverse-heel pedal. I've learned to overcome the awkwardness of operation by using my boot toe under the forward-pedal pulling it backwards. I had seen this mentioned by someone else on TBN and find that it works well. I'm to the point of wondering if I should cut off the lever holding the reverse-heel pedal removing it from the rocker that also mounts the forward-pedal. Hate to modifiy something like that but maybe a guard over the reverse-pedal might solve the inadvertant stepon.
Anyone else have this issue? Is Kubota the only manufacturer with this arrangement?
Edit: Notice I misspelled Rocker as Rocket. Maybe "Rocket" is appropriate when accidentally stepping on the reverse pedal?
