When mowing with my new 4600 hydro I noticed that the hydro pedals are extremely sensitive to any foot movement. It is a problem especially now because the ground is so hard and rough. I end up using the cruise control more than I should an in areas that I probably shouldn't just to avoid having my foot on the pedal. At slower throttle settings and performing other tasks it is not as noticable. The pedal pressure is considerably less than the 4300 I traded. Has anyone else noticed a similar problem on the new production 4000 tractors? Does anyone know if there is an adjustment available. My dealer is trying to get an answer. Any help would be appreciated.

Terry, my understanding is that the 4500-4700 series use a servo-driven hydrostatic control (like the Kubota GrandL series), but the 4100-4400 series do not have the servo. The servo control is supposed to give a lighter, smoother hydro control, but some will find the controls too light or touchy, especially on rough terrain. There were several posts to this effect from Kubota owners last fall/winter on either this board or tractorbynet. On my 4400, there are two hydro pedal "settings" that the dealer can set up that affect pedal pressure. I think this is an eccentric or cam setting on the linkage that connects to the return springs, but I'm not sure. I don't know if the 4600 has a similar arrangement or not. I had the dealer set my 4400 on the lighter setting, which works well on the 4400. ....
