Me thinks Kubota made a huge mistake when they tied the throttle control to the transmission. A two speed is all that's needed put it low or high.
Instead someone decided they would make it like driving a car with a 3 or 4 speed auto transmission.
"complicated and doesn't work that great was the result"

Usually somehow everything always boils down to money.
Yeah, I can't really understand why they did it this way. With appropriate gearing and HP a BX tractor would do everything regarding mobility that the RTV will do using a simple treadle. Beats me.
i read somewhere that a fella converted his RTV to a treadle. it was on the pre X model though
There's definitely some money involved in there somewhere.
The conversion is definitely doable. It would be definitely worthy when the RTV is stuck in gear......
it is definitely doable on the old models but i don't think the X models have the correct swash plates.

Good point. And I can't verify either way.
