I've had my BX2680 for about a year now, I have been very satisfied with it. I wanted to ask the forum members if there is some adjustment I could make to reduce stopping distance once you release the hydro pedal in forward or reverse. I'm used to my JD GT where the reduction is more aggressive, maybe a little too aggressive at times.

I get more roll on level ground with the BX than I would like, often having to use the brake. It's not a major issue, but I'd like the "braking" action to a bit more aggressive.

My BX23S stops so quickly when you take your foot off of the pedal that it can give you whiplash. I wish that it would come to a more gentle stop than it presently does. The dealer said that is the way that they are designed to work.

Dusty, my JD GT does that, pretty aggressive.

I watched the video that was linked last night and went out to look under the BX at the pedal linkage this morning. I did notice the spring was filled with grass clippings and will not come back to its unextended length.

The previous owners mowed routinely with the MMM, so I'm not surprised. I cleaned it up pretty well when I got the tractor, but the grass inside the spring wouldn't have come out with a general cleaning. I'm going to get grass clippings out of the spring and see if that makes a difference. The damper was already in the position shown in the video, so not sure if any damper adjustment will help.

I think my JD GT stops a little too aggressivley, so I'll take any improvement on the BX that reduces the roll after pedal release.
