BX2350 - Stopping in Reverse

[KeithInSpace]

foot slips out from underneath and his head jolts back and tags the rops

So which is safer? (not discussing giving Jr. a ride...I'd do and have done the same thing) Having the springs, hydro, and foot pressure slow the machine down as it apparently does no my machine? Or have this retarded artificial "brick wall" mechanism built into the reverse portion of the transmission?

I know my answer.

Regarding Jr.: The wife doesn't like me giving the kids a ride too much (odd time with one on the knee at 0.5 MPH to get the mail or something). She is real touchy about leaking children...I'd have been in the doghouse for a week. Thanks for the heads up on something to avoid, Mr. Phil. With all our collective knowledge, perhaps we can keep each other out of trouble.

I have owned a BX24 for about a year. I have had the same experiences when stopping in reverse in high range. However, most of the activities that I do that require stopping in reverse I do in low range. Where there isn't any problem.

I do all my mowing in low range and that's when I've noticed the excessive dynamic braking.

I am trying to develop a "soft touch" so as not to jerk it when taking my foot off the reverse pedal.

Am wondering if a small spring would help the pedal travel upward just a little slower if I let off too fast?
