Wrong. My Murray hydrostatic drive will go into a braking mode when I
lift my foot off the pedal going downhill.



Are you saying that John Deere manual does not describe operation of
Murray tractors? You are correct. But I doubt that John Deere is
wrong, they are talking about their own tractors.



I'm sorry. I was referring to hydrostatic operation while going
downhill. My comment was not about cruise control (which I do not have),
but about hydrostatic operation when going downhill. But you would know
much better about hydrostatic transmissions and cruise control since you
own neither. I deleted that message and composed another, if you would
care to comment on that one.
