Ah, yes, the RIO (Reverse Implement Operation) switch. Actually it's not hard to get used to. I thought about defeating it, but then decided just to get used to it, which I did. And the reverse mowing thingy isn't really JD's fault, it's some lawyer out there. But JD could have design their switch like CCs. But it's no big deal to use, I do it now without even thinking. But, there lies the problem - that and the fact the operator has to look down on the dash to find the switch (I don't have to as I can find that switch in the dark). Messing with that switch takes your focus on looking back, so I guess these safety switches like this one just doesn't really solve the problem. If anything, they make the problem worse.
