Pretty simple really. I sourced the buttons from Napa, they are meant to be stomped on with your foot. They are right where my left foot rests and so far I have found that my foot knows what to do better than my hand. I never used to be able to weave in and out of trees without slowing down using my hand switches in the past. For some reason my foot can do it like its second nature without even thinking. The switches are kind of too heavy duty. They require a good bit of pressure to actuate and I'm finding that basically now I just stomp them hard as hell to make them work. This concept was experimental at first so they do good for what they were meant to be but I would like to someday find something that is more meant for what I am doing.
They're not a complete replacement for the hand switch. But I find I used the foot switches about 90% of the time now which reduces the importance of the hand switch enough to where the small toggle I use is sufficient.

I wonder if you could build a pedal for your left foot like a foot pedal controlled skid steer loader. Rocker pedal that heal back turn left or right, toe forward turn left or right. Center neutral.
Bronco Buster said:I think you could do the rocker pedal with push buttons. The dimmer switches are a great idea but they are either on or off. With a push button (starter button) it would be a momentary on so you wouldn't have to hit it again to turn it off.
Just a thought from the web wheeler
