I hear what you are saying about having to run the tractor wide azz open all the time. I don't mind it, in fact you need to run at high rpms to get some things done but there are many times you just don't need to be in the high RPM range all the time.Personally, I'd be taking your last suggestion. Good for trying it out, but if it doesn't work for you then return it and go find an older, more user-friendly machine. Running an engine flat out so that it pleases someone else isn't on my agenda.
I enjoy running our quiet tractors. Having them is a enjoyable luxury - not a requirement. Working on our land with the tractor purring at an idle is part of what we enjoy about a rural lifestyle.
Running a machine screaming at PTO rpm all the time is not something that I have any interest in supporting. It is expensive, annoying, and inefficient. Manufacturers and engineers who want our business should get off their duffs and quit being lazy.

Sadly it's not the engineers or the manufactures that are the problem here. It's the people that vote for these greenie weenie, green new deal people. There's a lot of money to be made out there pushing this crap on the american people. Don't want to start a political debate here but you cant blame manufactures for this crap. They are just trying to make a living like everyone else and to do that they have to build stuff that the gubment will let them manufacture. If it keeps going the way it is now ol' 5030 will be pulling his hay wagon with an electric tractor some day.
