R.I.P. Scout26
If the guy on the Fordson version fell off his seat it would be like going through a meat grinder assuming there was no instant braking dead man switch

I may have seen a more annoying video some where in the distant past but, if so, I don't remember when or where. Between his talking like a 45 RPM record played at 78 RPM, his constant screaming, and the intrusive background music -- I barely made it beyond the halfway mark before I had to shut it off. It's a really nice bit of garage engineering, but his presentation just ruins it.

Our farming fore fathers were made of stouter stuff. Well, the ones that survived anyway.
And WLJ: Wouldn't the same thing happen with regular tracks?And Hawmoon: Agreed. I've noticed in watching some of our gunship attack videos there's a tendency to use heavy rhythmic contemporary loud music, too. Gits yer dander up, I guess.Terry
I've never been on a tractor with a gas pedal. I set the throttle lever to the rpm I need and it stays there until I change it.
Why not a kill switch wristband, or switch in the seat or some other method of shutting down the screws unless you're in the seat?
You need certain rpm's to run some equipment. For pto speed.And it would get kinda busy with a clutch and three brake pedals at my feet already.
One brake pedal works on both tires the other two are called steering brakes. If the front wheels are off the ground you hit the brake on the side you want to turn.
Like I said I don't know tractors all that well. Why that and not a petal? Maybe hard to maintain the petal in the same position and thus a constant speed while going over bumps and such?
