I am sure that is why they are putting the brakes on the left next year. I am not addressing benefits one way or the other, just my personal use and preference. I can easily use split brakes on my L5740 with the cruise control and have tried it. While I grew up using split brakes farming and still use them on our M8540, I have found them insignificant for how we use our L5740.
In all honesty I don't mind the brakes on the right side, I have gotten used to it, and kind of prefer it that way now.
My only issue was the fact that they put a split brake on my B26, which is absolutely useless and cannot be used. If it had cruise control, than it would be somewhat useful, but it doesn't. If you are going to put something, such as split brakes, on a tractor, it should have SOME practical use.
I know we have discussed this before, so no sense in going through it again.
On a happier note, I can't wait to test drive the new BX xx70 series. If it had the auto connect deck, I think I would have already put my order in. Maybe next years model will have it. They are going to have to offer it sooner or later. It may not initially be on the BX, but at least on one of the models. Time will tell.
