What would you..

How about optional down pressure for the 3pt hitch. Nothing like trying to drill holes in hard ground when the digger just sets there and goes round and round without removing any dirt.

My buddies Belarus has 3pt down pressure...It is fantastic for an auger, he was punching 6 to 8 holes to my one.

Maybe tire pressure sensors. Even having a tractor tire under inflated by 3psi is around 20% flat. It would make the tires last longer. Ever notice your ag tires crack right behind the lug?

Not familiar with the 'botas, but on my deere the throttle is a small pedal below the brake pedals- clutch on the left. You can move the hand lever to any position to hold a certain RPM, but if you want foot control, you must use the small pedal. This isn't really any different than driving a car or truck. I have never found a problem with it as I rarely need to push both at the same time, and if I do I can just use the hand lever.

I am assuming you mean the hydro pedal is on the same side? If so, then what is on the other side? I know very little about newer tractors.

Talking about a HST "hydro" transmission.
Kubota has forward and reverse pedals on the right with the brakes above the forward lever on the right side also.
Deere has the forward & reverse on the right side and brakes on the left side.
Deere F & R pedals are side by side to each other.
Kubota F & R pedals are at the front and rear of the floor board.

Hydro temp and hydraulic pressure gauges. Block heater standard, and well marked/colored safety interlock switches.

Kubota is messed up with the brakes over the forward and reverse pedal and that is the only thing I would change on mine!!! B7510 hydro 4x4. oh someone asked whats on the other side, a clutch pedal!!!! on a hydro!!! for what???? I have to push it to start the tractor and shift from high to low and back but only if I am moving!!!!! ok and some brighter lights would be nice! I put brighter lights on and then had to buy the optional higher output alt!!!

 

[EMB5530]

17 gpm minimum hyd pump and 4 rear rem. on anything 50 hp and up.

I would gladly trade the Kubota "Intellipanel" for a set of analog gauges.
They could call them "Gurugauges" or "Cleverdials" or "Smartieparts" or whatever to please the marketing types and make it sound like they invented the idea.

When I'm doing work with the tractor the last place I want to be looking is at the instruments. I'm usually focused on some landmark or watching the implement do it's thing and adjusting as it does. With a dial you can get and idea of what it's reading with a glance out of the corner of your eye. With a digital numeric display you have to look directly at it and read it, and often I have to push the button to get it to display the particul information that I want to know. I'm agin it!

Better engine noise control. Why can't my 20 hp Deere be as quiet as my 30 hp mini-ex? Both use a water cooled diesel engine.

Four wheel drive indicator light;at least on Kubotas ,others may offer this already.

My little Kioti has a big orange 4wd indicator on the instrument panel, it is a little annoying actually, especially since the switch also lights up when it is in 4wd. There is an indicator for that shows 2 brake pedals an says "split" when you have the brakes split, it is red. I did not know I needed it either, but it is there.

Yes, the Kubota's have the hydro pedal on the same side as the brakes. Where I find this to cause a problem is when I am scraping with the FEL to level out a ridge or small hump in the yard or something similar. With the FEL pushing down, the front tires lose a bit of traction and the steering with it. So, when you have the rt hand on FEL lever and rt foot on the hyrdo fwd pedal, you have to swing your left foot to the right side so you can make any needed adjustments with the steering brakes. I know we can use the cruise control lever on the left side of the seat to free up the right foot for braking, but it feels a little less stable in the seat as there is nothing solid to hold onto like the steering wheel. Just think it would be a little more intuitive this way.
