Re: (ET) Re:too much torque on e10

[Christopher Zach <czach computer org>]

There is a reason I have the seat cut-out switch enabled. That said, it 
wouldn't help since I don't drive backwards with the motor.

An interesting circuit would be an anti-rear up system. Mercury switches 
set to provide full forward motor power if the tractor ever is at more 
than a 45 degree angle. That way the tractor would rear up, motor would 
come on and drop the front down.
