I've pretty much decided on the Craftsman GT5000 garden tractor, but I have one possible issue. The speed control (i.e., accelerator) for the automatic is a hand control, not a foot control. How do you GT5000 owners find this works? Seems like a foot pedal would be more convenient. Also, to switch between forward and reverse requires pulling the hand control through a curve and seems a bit awkward and slow.
How does this speed control work when you're doing things like shoveling snow, requiring a lot of back and forth, as well as using a hand to control the plow? Or using a Johnny Dump?
Thanks!
