Description

If you’ve ever tried to run a loader, mow around trees, or do any repetitive work with just your Dexta’s hand throttle, you know it’s like trying to juggle while eating soup. This foot throttle kit gives your Ford tractor automotive-style speed control, freeing up both hands for steering and hydraulics while your foot manages engine speed. No more reaching for the hand throttle every time you need to adjust RPMs – your foot does the work while your hands stay on the wheel and controls where they belong.

What You’re Getting

Complete kit with pedal assembly, linkage, and all mounting hardware so everything you need is in one box
Keeps existing hand throttle functional for steady-speed work – you’re adding capability, not replacing what works
Non-slip pedal surface works great with muddy boots because farm work isn’t done in clean conditions
Adjustable linkage accommodates different operator preferences for comfortable operation
Return spring ensures engine drops to idle when foot is removed for safety

Built for Real Farm Work

Your Fordson Dexta or Super Dexta might be a compact tractor, but it’s a workhorse that handles everything from orchard work to hay operations. The foot throttle changes everything, especially for tasks like mowing where you’re constantly adjusting speed for grass conditions, bush hogging where you slow for thick spots, or grading where precise speed control makes all the difference. Whether you’re feeding livestock, clearing brush, or doing loader work around the farmstead, this kit makes repetitive throttle adjustments effortless.

Made to Last

This isn’t some lightweight add-on that’ll break the first time you step on it hard. The pedal assembly uses heavy steel that can handle work boots, mud, and years of daily use. The linkage components feature proper bushings and pivot points that won’t develop slop after a season. It’s built to handle the reality of farm life.

Installation Notes

The key to a good installation is pedal placement – you want it where your foot naturally falls when seated, not stretched out or cramped up. Route the cable carefully to avoid kinks or contact with hot exhaust parts. Here’s a pro tip: adjust the idle stop so the engine idles slightly higher with foot control than hand throttle – this prevents stalling when you quickly lift your foot. Don’t remove your hand throttle – you’ll still want it for steady operations like plowing or baling. Think of this as adding capability, not replacing what works.
