Knowledge is a good thing.

In 1985 I was 32. I loved shifting gears when I was young, too. Now that I am much older and fluffier, I like my remote controls, automatic transmissions, hydraulic everything, and this meat head loves his HST.

:laughing::laughing::thumbsup: I can sure identify with that. I ran gears on everything but our SCUT until I was in my 60's and bought my first HST "tractor" L5030. Now I run an M8540 Hydraulic Shuttle 12/12 and L5740; like them both. We still own the old crash box tractors, but I had to quit driving them.

one thing i do not like, is over heating the transmission with hydrostatic transmissions. (running to high of a gear, and going up to steep of a hill and/or to much load) a hydro will slip and you may not notice, compared to a geared transmission were the engine will begin to bog down.

I am only on my first tractor, so I can't speak more generally, but it's always pretty obvious to me when I'm putting the transmission into relief. I back off on the HST pedal until RPMs recover and speed picks back up, or I down-shift.

they make auto tranny tractor so ant meat head can get on them and go that why you hear of plp rolling tractors if we had straight gear not to many would get on them and stay on them

Right. Because nobody ever rolled tractors back before HST.
