There may be an acceleration valve that is hanging up but my Eatons both freewheel down a hill but both are fast and strong. They do not weaken after warming up. The foot control can be a little too sensitive, at least compared to a lever, but I've really grown accustomed to mine. But I made mine up myself. It is not like the factory control. Your foot control is very similar to the Kubota treadle pedal . @kpinnc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JCM 11,079 #78 Posted 2 hours ago Exactly . I tried one out years back and didn't like it for that reason on the Kubota. Too much leg movement to operate. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe it definitely went into the right hands, and the machine is scheduled for annual maintenance here yearly at the shop, so I'll get to see and care for it every once in a while.
