In the manual for the John Deere OMM149664, Issue L3 Lawn Tractors LX280, LX280AWS, and LX289 PIN, automatic transmission tractors it specifically says: "Do not use cruise control when going down hills. Machine speed will increase." 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. -- Pardon my spam deterrent; send email to Cheers, Steve Henning in Reading, PA USA http://home.earthlink.net/~rhodyman |

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. |
