If I had a front loader, i would definitely want a foot pedal for the hydro. I drove a Simplicity regent or higher model number and let me tell you have well this tractor felt with the foot pedal for hydro. The thing felt like a Cadillac of mowers(even though it's not as tough as the IH Cub') but I give credit where credits due.
That is where I like the ideal of foot pedal hydro. So if I have an attachment like a front loader I can control rather "juggle" the controls with the steering wheel.
I haven't started on any mods to this yet but still planning.
