Not on this end. Just my thoughts. Seems the sale numbers of 180 gas versus diesel kind of makes my point is all.

We had a Massey Ferguson 165, I think a 1968. Whatever year it was, it was 1 model year prior to live PTO according to Dad. PTO was a short lever on the left hand side way to the rear. As a young one, you really had to reach for it. I guess not being live, you had to be stopped pretty much to engage it anyway, so not seeing where you were going wasn't much of an issue. Funny by contrast, and all the slamming Deere usually takes, our JD 630 had a foot pedal PTO engagement, actually worked pretty nice for a 1958!

I was wrong, the hydraulic levers are to the right of the steering wheel on a 560. D19 wins hands down for hydraulic lever placement. |
 ,to me, the left-of-seat hydraulic lever set-up was just BASS-AKWARD for a right hand operator  . The throttle, P/D lever and the "natural" reflex to look over the right shoulder(to me anyhow) made for VERY long tillage days  . Seems like there was a hydraulic lever set-up on an off-colored tractor situated on the "hump" between the seat and steering column ?? I've been on Olivers, 30 series Cases, Fergusons, Massey's, I/H's , blue Fords, and sadly JD's  . I've eve run a Case RC with a true hand clutch LOL !!

Sadly, the PTO placement on the 190 (hydraulic activation) leaves a little to be desired

190 hydraulic PTO lever could have been a few inches higher but it sure beats the very early 190 manual rod with a knob that sat flat on the floor under the left side of the seat. That was a terrible idea.

someone before me added height to the PTO lever on my XT, made it a lot better than the way it was before.

I have seen a couple that turned the lever around and pointed it forward. Actually worked pretty good.
