Press the forward drive pedal forward to cause the tractor to travel forward. Ground speed is also controlled with the forward drive pedal. The further forward the pedal is pivoted, the faster the tractor will travel. The pedal will return to its original/neutral position when it's not pressed. Reverse Drive Pedal (B) The reverse drive pedal is located on the right side of the tractor along the running board. Ground speed is also controlled with the reverse drive pedal. The further downward the pedal is pivoted, the faster the tractor will travel. The pedal will return to its original/ neutral position when it's not pressed. Brake Pedal (C) The brake pedal is located on the left side of the tractor, along the running board. The brake pedal can be used for stopping the tractor or setting the parking brake.
