My neighbor keeps his Kubota 3901 in my barn and says use it whenever you need it, which I consider very generous. I am used to bigger farm tractors with clutches for gear change and locking brakes and throttle control. SO I used his tractor the other day to move a few bucket loads of gravel. This was down a hill, not too steep and I was in low range and the tractor just freewheeled on me and I was using the brakes and finally got to the bottom. This is the same hill I go down with two, 2000 pound round bales at a time. The tractor has a gas pedal like a car and you move your heel and toe to change direction. My question are several. Is freewheeling the nature of the beast with the transmission these tractors have? If I was to use it to pull a hay rake for instance would I have to keep my foot on the gas pedal all day? There is no way to lock the brakes together, how can this be safe for highway use? If you take your foot off the gas pedal to steer with the brakes the tractor stops, this doesn't seem logical to me. Maybe this tractor is not really designed to be a farm tractor as much as a 5 acre carry mulch to the flower bed and mow the yard piece of equipment. Am I missing something or lost in the past? Thanks, Ellis
