We just purchased a B2920 for my wife (I have a NH TC45DA).
The question I have is there any safety interlocks on the B2920 that must be engaged before you can start it. I went to the dealer and the guy wasn't really sure so he went out to a 2620 and sure enough it just cranked right up while standing next to it. There are interlock switches on the seat for the pto and it works. If you have the PTO enganged and get off the seat it stops the tractor.
On the NH I have to have my butt in the seat, brake on, and speed selector in N before it will crank. If I stop and get off with out setting the brake and putting it in N the NH will quit. With the new 2920 it doesn't require anything as it is now. It can be ingear and you can stand next to it hit the key and it starts. At the least I would have thought you'd have to be sitting on the tractor before it would crank.
For you with the 2920's (or 2620) is this the norm? As I said this is my wifes tractor and want her to be safe with it. Thanks ALL
