Hydro's and brake pedals

Good. Man I love the ability to partially quote people.

Yeah, it makes it so easy to truncate the part you don't like and sometimes change the whole nature or meaning of what was said by eliminating the context.

Wonder if it is a regional thing?

I think it's a gender thing. Women ride side-saddle, they're women's brakes.

Of course! I should have thought of that, especially since Kubota is clearly a kinder gentler tractor.

Maybe part of it is expierience?

I grew up in Jeeps, and have been on too many really hard trails to have a worry about that. If they were really that important in sticky situations, then every Jeep and Toyota running Rubicon would have them

Me too, started in a '59 Willys. You can't hardly expect to pivot on a Jeep's rear wheel when they are all the same size (wheels) and the weight is so biased toward the front. Remember, this thread is about conditions where the front end is light loaded.

Heck, even the flounder boats down here on the Gulf coast use old window weights thrown overboard on one side or the other to help control steering.

My 1943 Ford built jeep didn't have cutting brakes either and if it had I wouldn't have used them.

I have spent some time in boats and have employed lots of unconventional solutions to problems of maneuvering and navigation but never used sash weights for steering. The oceanographic research community has used a zillion sash weights as inexpensive weights to sink various small experiments and or instruments.

I think you miss my point.

What you are stating is your opinion. It is not fact.

There is nothing, other than being wrong, that precludes an opinion being a fact.

And if in fact using the feature would help they would find another way instead.

Robert and Patrick,
Had they put a cup holder in the center of the hood your arguments about opinion VS fact could be applied there, too.

Denial is a river in Africa.

Opinion is opinion. I highly regard your opinion based on the years of great posts you have made on TBN. I tend to read your posts, as I have gleaned good info from them over the years.

Some posters are stating opinion as fact. I disagree with that, more than the "issue" they are highlighting. Oh well, we don't all have to agree on everything How boring would that be

Re: cupholders - If I use anything while on the tractor, it is a variation of the Chalkey cup. Best cup concept ever developed for tractor use Most of the posters in this thread have not been around long enough to even know what that is...

That is your OPINION my Deere cup works great (as long as I am parked).
