Are you accentuating that I’m not open and honest? Please elaborate. As far as bias, I do favor geared and not prejudiced against HST. Not sure what you mean. I have OWNED and OPERATED all. As far as your example of slowing and turning using gears vs HST. Geared use your left foot for...

yea I guess the downside is if you don’t have enough gears.

Im confused on the downside of geared. PTO - engine RPM ground speed - gear

My previous Mx5100 would hold about 13 gallons of diesel and I could fill it up in the morning and work till it would be empty and have to add diesel ( I had to take diesel with me to save time). Those RPMs you are running are what I consider “high” but are correct and needed. I’m talking about...

I really didn’t know I didn’t like the HST till I got a larger tractor with gear shuttle shift. I would run HST tractor all day and it would run out of diesel before the end of the day, high RPMs to do any work. I usually couldn’t set and keep on cruise control, and didn’t like the foot petal...

You can try plugging and see if it holds. I’ve had punctured rear tires and had someone come out to the farm and pull the tire off the bead and patch and then put an inter tube inside to be sure. They had to drain and re fill the beet juice. Took a few calls to local tractor dealerships to...

I run a limb / brush cutter, drill, grapple, digger with claw, tree puller and others from my front remotes with my gear shuttle shift trans and it is a non event for slow front and back stuff. The HST is prob better for that situation, but certainly not required. Gear with no shuttle shift is...

I can go out to 300 yds.

What do you mean that HST is required to regulate what happens at control valve. I run many implements off my front remotes without issue.

Using a 2WD on hilly terrain is a bad idea, been there too many times. On hills: 4WD go forward and go straight down as possible. Use your gearing to control speed, and if you hit the brakes and start sliding come off brakes and use low gear (or low HST)that you set at top of hill using front...

One of my rigs for seeding food plots. I used a hand seeder for too many years. I plant too many plots now for the hand seeder I started with.

I have had a HST tractor about 50 hp and didn’t like the HST at all. With the HST you set a constant high RPM and use the HST to control speed. Burns lots of diesel and constantly loud, and hated the HST foot petal. I have had other tractors along with my current one with gears, clutch, gas...

New here, Have had many Kubotas, now have a M5-111. Just finished 2 of 4 new tree stands builds. I have many tree stands, just redoing some old sites.
