That's because the fence at this point is just a pile of post and wire. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

The anticipation is probably a reminder of waiting for Santa when you were a kid...except at least then you knew what day the goodies would arrive! Welcome and good luck with the new toyz.

Welcome to the PT family CJ. If I had been paying attention to TBN posts instead of making arrangements to go to OKC for Christmas I would have welcomed you sooner (no pun intended). We were in the Bethany area the week of Christmas. Incidently I'm probably one of the few TBN'ers who've been in Piedmont, OK. I worked on a road construction crew just west of there about 18 years ago. My wife's grandfather graduated from Piedmont H.S. but that was a looooooooooooong time ago. I hope you're lovin' your PT . My only complaint has been I wish it were better on hills....a problem that shouldn't come up as often for you as it does for me here in E. TN

I'm fairly new myself.. 422 middle of December .. anyway it was said before watch out for reverse.. What are you using to pick it up? I almost flung myself off the little enclosed trailer I rented a couple times and backing out of the trailer a delicate operation was quite scary.. so heed the caution.. I'm getting used to the treadle but still thinking about adding a spring under reverse or the bands like someone else showed.. good luck its well worth it..

keep a foot on each side, /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif use the opp. foot to counter the direction /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif no quick unexpected moves then!!! the weight of the other foot serves as the spring and learn to keep your heels on the floor when it's rough going. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

That's exactly what I do as well. You do get used to it. I only have 15 hours on mine so far but I am very comfortable with the standard setup. No need to modify it. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Welcome. And like others have said keep both feet on the treddles and apply pressure to the direction you want to go and just leave the other one rest on the other treddle , it just takes some getting used to.
