Treat the tractor like a horse, and only enter/exit from the left side. I broke off the turn signal indicator arm on my Dk-35, which sticks out into the air in a place that makes no sense to me from the design of a tractor console POV.
I've caught all kinds of stuff on the fel joy stick too.
It may be that the Korean engineers, being somewhat shorter than us Americans/Canadians, and many other westerners, design things from their particular perspective, ergonomically speaking, and consequently we are at the mercy of their designs.
I too have hit the key off numerous times.
While on the subject of design issues, or lack thereof it drives me crazy that the seat can't fold over onto the steering wheel to allow for rain and snow shedding! And that the lights for the switches aren't on unless in use. I'm going to add some LEDs to light up the two switch pads so one can see the 4x4 and hazard switches, and the PTO and cruise switches on the right side mini console. I think I will have to add them to the side of the console housing on left and right, but not sure of the layout yet.
One last peeve; if the hst pedals were farther apart, then with winter boots on it would be less likely to hit both or the wrong one due to their spacing. Anyone else experience this?
