It was late last night when I hurriedly wrote the response, and I apologize for the somewhat curt response. I should have used "limited use" rather than the more negative "nearly worthless" which would be better reflect the kindred spirit shown in this forum. I also should have mentioned that it can facilitate loader work. I was completely surprised that you prefer a foot throttle for general operation. I'm in my mid-fifties and never encountered anyone who grew up on a farm that was so inclined. For someone near my age that would be expected, because few if any older tractors had them. This reality conjures up the old adage, that it is sometimes tough to teach old dogs, new tricks. However, I also know quite a few younger farmers in their late 30's and early forties, that also disdain a foot throttle for traditional hand operation. But since I'm from the generation that grew up in the San Franciso's Haight-Ashbury "hippie" era I should be more open to new ideas. Next time I'm on a tractor with a foot throttle, I'll try to be a little more subjective.
