Can't seem to link that directly Robert but you can see the whole thing by starting here:
http://configurator.deere.com/servlet/co....e&gm tOffset=-7
and work your way down to product feature.
If there is an opt out it certainly is not described in build your own.
By the way this looks like a great idea to me, increased torque, stable speed on hills, no gears to shift, full handle range indexed by max speed setting.
There is no way I would not get it.
Because in 5 years all Deere's will be this way. And I know how Deere guys like talking resale value.
