Those with the new XLT series

[sliderbuck]

Are the hydrostatic controls hard to move on the new XLTs also? Mines very hard to shove down on the XL. All my pivot points are loose and lubed up. I know on the new ones they changed the pedal. Thinking about trying to buy the pedal assy off a new one and fab it up to work on mine. This is on a max 26xl.

there are grease fittings underneath, did u grease them, I do agree its harder then i expected, mine also doesn't return to stop immediately. I doubt the pedal will help you as its a direct link to the hst itself. has it always been hard? i bought mine used, my throttle was barely able to move without 2 hands. i got that adjusted and its 1000 times better. might want to check your loader, and backhoe bolts as well. did mine this week, every single one was loose.

Yeah i put up there that all the pivot points are loose and lubed up. Mines always been stiff to use. Thinking thats prob why they went with the new set up. Prob more leverage with the way the pedal is set up to make it easier to move.

I have a feeling there is 0 difference overall. its going to push the same levers, just allows you not to move your foot, my brother in law has a larger mahindra with the new pedal maybe i can go check it out.

If they designed it with more leverage itd def make a difference. Debating on taking the arm off my controls and lowering the pin hole that the controls attach to. This would give it more leverage to move it easier.
