I've learned for stacking hay in a barn u can't beat a skid steer I can do 4x the stacking vs any tractor hydro or not

using a front end loader a hydro is great but when you're bushogging or discing all day it gets old quick Mine also has cruise (hand lever) so it’s not a big deal either. But it is real handy bushhogging when I need to slow up a bit for real thick grass. Honestly it’s all in what you get used too. I love our Kubota but spend just as much time on the gear tractor as well.

I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

I’ve heard that bushhogging for long periods of time, in this heat, with a hydrostatic can heat up the transmission a little too much. Any experience or knowledge on that. I guess it would be anything run off of the pto. The hydro tractors do run a little warmer than a gear tractor when doing long heavy cutter work but ive heard of no failures from it on any of the kubota forums.

I guess it would be anything run off of the pto. we used a hydro installing pools and bush hogging. They did run hotter. They also had to take the Kubota back due to a transmission issue. It quit pulling dragging a disk when it was a few months old. I don’t know the details it was before I worked there.

I like a geared tractor for turning dirt. Powershift or TA or similar is nice pulling big implements but most of y'all would never need it.
I like a power shuttle for loader work. That's got the lever that allows you to go from forward to reverse on the move. Shuttle you have to clutch but same concept.
Hydro Stat I do not like as much. I have one and it is really only great for loader work. You can just keep your hand on the loader controls and steering wheel and you foot does everything else. In that regard it is great.
One problem... Y'all seem to be doing a lot of loader work. I don't use my loader nearly as much as I use the machine to bush hog or do something else. I get about 200 yards down the road bush hoggin and I'm thinking the Hydro stat sucks. Of course you can flip the switch and make it maintain it's speed but it just isn't great IMO.
No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.

I don't farm, have a small 1 acre or so garden and 40 acres of mostly woods I use my tractor around the house and and for food plots and such at the club, about 75-100 hrs a year. I would not own a tractor with anything but a hydrostatic transmission for my use.

Most folks aren't faming 640 acre square sections.

Comparing the transmission of a lawn mower to a bull dozer is like comparing a howitzer to a BB gun. Completely different animals.
