The explanations are detailed and practical, including honest personal opinions and a candid comparison nudging 40-hp buyers to also price the Grand L60.

It ties the hydrostatic pedal to engine RPM so RPMs rise as you drive forward, similar to a car, but it does not affect reverse.
If your property can handle a larger machine, consider pricing the Grand L60 too, since the price gap between it and the LX4020 can be fairly small.
