Feature Highlight: What are Twin Touch Controls?

Do you ever feel like operating a tractor can be more complicated than it needs to be? You're not alone. That is why select John Deere tractors and lawn tractors feature the renowned Twin Touch foot controls. Twin Touch foot controls are pedals that allow the operator to control the speed and direction of their vehicle effortlessly. The Twin Touch pedals include one forward pedal and one reverse pedal. The pedals are paired with a hydrostatic transmission that gives the operator infinite ground speeds allowing them to match their speed to their job. This can come in handy for various applications and make for a smoother ride.

The TwinTouch controls hold key advantages over competitors. Instead of using easy-to-use Twin Touch pedals, competitive hydrostatic tractors use a treadle pedal. This requires using both toe and heel to operate, which can lead to increased operator fatigue. Twin-Touch foot controls decrease chances of fatigue by only requiring a light touch to operate. Functions like this allow you to "inch" the tractor forward or backward, great for things such attaching implements.
