Well, not that it really matters to anybody, but Kubota did come steal my tractor from my barn this morning as planned. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif Maybe, just maybe, I'll find that super jerky hydro pedals are not standard features on Kubota tractors. Any bets?! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif C'mon Bob, you've done everything from making me snort coffee through my nose with your responses to now making the condition of my panties known nationwide. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif What's your bet?

I have a hydro L4330 with the same type of hydro pedal as the L5030. If I position my foot on the entire rocker pedal and go over rough ground it is hard to control. I've gotten used to resting my heel on the floor mat to steady my foot and just depressing the pedal with my toes while going forward. To reverse I slide my heel upto the pedal an rest my toes on the mat to steady my foot. That is the only way I've found to have a smooth ride.

Thanks Gene. I just got off of the phone with my Kubota dealer. Apparently they found some of the pressures related to the hydro control were "significantly" off. Hmm, go figure! /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif Anyway, it's supposed to be back here in an hour or so. It's a good thing too. I need to mow and the heat index here is current 112 degrees! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
The only way I could possibly come close to controlling it was with my heel on the floor. Otherwise, I really was getting reverse. The dealer found that out today when he tried to drive it with his foot on the pedal. They tell me that it is all better. Hopefully I'll see soon!

I have only owned a couple of tractors, but what I have found is that the sales guy who sold me the first tractor has changed to a new brand (or new dealership) between my purchases and now bad mouths the tractor he sold me to the guy who bought from me. If the salesman is not loyal to his brand, then why should I be. You are seeing your sales guy or owner retire, and it is that relationship which you are loyal to and which benefits you. It's a changing world and you have to judge a tractor more by needs and quality today than yesterday.
