Anyone who says they don't want hydrostatic drive on a tractor tells me they have never spent an hour on a hydrostatic drive tractor.. Or 30 minutes. or even 15. I can easily move my hydro Kubota 1/4 ". There is no human on the planet who can do that on a gear tractor.
If you are row crop farming, ignore the rest of my post.
If you ain't row crop farming, a gear tractor does nothing to help you, and a hydrostat makes everything easier.
I’ve driven one a lot. But, I prefer a gear tractor. If I was just cutting grass around the house, it would be different. I admit it is easier to use a bucket with a hydrostatic transmission. But, I’ve been driving a gear tractor my entire life and that is what I prefer.
Same here. I have owned both and prefer gears personally.
