    B2601 Treadle Pedal hard to use

    Received delivery of my new B2601 tractor this past week and as I was using it I noticed how difficult it was to use the pedal going in reverse. I do not remember this being so hard to use when I had the L series tractor. Is there any adjustment to make it a little easier to use??????
