I hope its perfected and we don't read a news story about how one of those switches malfunctioned, set the tractor in high gear, and ran over someone!
Other than that it's kinda neat!

if i recall correctly,
brake is engaged, low range only, and it moves at a snails pace. but could come in handy for sure.
i didn't like seeing all the wires for it exposed under the fender, and explained that to the Deere folks
in florida,
hopefully they protect them.

Sure beats reaching around and pressing the HST peddle or adjusting the normal 3 pt controls.

You mean after bypassing the seat switch?:shocked:

clever ...could be useful putting on chains, as well.
Bypass the seat switch? I find I can make small adjustments with the go-pedal (HST) without stalling,[without incurring the wrath of the "operator presence" relay] if I'm quick and gentle ...However, I find it even easier to move the tractor back and forth a smidge using the FEL bucket.

For better or worse, the JD eHydro is too smart for that.

Nice feature... but has to be expensive.

Nice enough feature, but they would get more credibility if the Kubota guy acted like he had a bit more experience with the machine.
And he had extendable 3pt links, but didn't use them.
Like other people suggest, I can use my HST peddle from the ground to move the machine forward and backwards a couple inches without stalling the machine. And the 3pt raise and tilt controls are not hard to reach from the ground.
I keep wanting this feature: our 3pt arms lower clear to the ground so when your implement has fallen off your blocks and sunk into the mud you can still hitch it up without killing yourself. ;-)
