I think you guys are being too tough on the Kubota cup holders. Mine easily holds a 750 ML bottle of red wine and holds a bottle of Skrewball peanut butter whisky rather snuggly. Just saying.
The thing I don't like about a treddle is that it has a totally different feel depending on your footwear.
Those are sold a marine shops because they are popular with boat owners. I also have one and they are great because they keep your drink from spilling.I got this at a RV or boat place about 15-20 years ago. Called a "bar bouy" iirc. It's been on my last two tractors. No way that was going to be part of the trade in!

That sounds funny to watchmy problem is, if jump in the rtv, i jam my toe under the gas pedal and pull up expecting the thing to go backwards!
It takes about a day of usage to become comfortable with either system. My old L3400 of course had the long pedal, and my Kioti has the 2 pedal setup. Either is fine. They both work great, it is just a matter of becoming accustomed to the difference. It ain't no big thang.I agree that kubota needs a massive redesign of the cup holder.
Having it on a fender and un-isolated....just running the tractor will make a beer loose all its carbonation in about 30 seconds flat.
Regarding the pedal setup....I cannot seem to get accustomed to the two pedal system. For me the kubota is natural. And agree that I think most are trying to use it wrong.
I spend alot of time on a LX4900 yanmar and always have to pause and think about what I am doing. Same with the neighbors 2305 deere that I drive on occasion.
But I think one could easily adapt to either and with a few days seat time (without switching back and forth on other equipment) that it would become second nature
