I have nearly the same set up, mine is a gear drive. If I had an hst I would do as hokie does.

But being gear drive I do as Jay says and use the backhoe to push it.

But guys, he said he paid extra for a lever that does what he wants without any tricks.
I would call the dealer and ask.

There no such thing as a stupid question, always better to ask in my experience!

The creep lever will be on your left hand side after you spin the seat around to operate the hoe.

Sorry the joke's on you. You bought the wrong machine if you expect that kind of usability.
