Friends don't let friends get gear tractors unless they
want to keep pointing out that they should have got a hydro!!! :laughing:

Maybe after you get the thing home and have used it a bit I could come by to see it in action ... I have looked at them in the parking lot -

I致e decided to go with the 55 cab hydro and purchase from RK based on the feedback here and from my conversations with the manager at the store who puts it all together.

Thanks for all the input from everyone here. I知 sure I will get a lot of use out of the tractor over the years.

I知 scheduled for delivery next Wednesday when we get back from the mountains.

congrats
great choice
let us know how it works out

Personally I think everyone needs one of each. There is no comparison to a HST when doing loader work. But on the the other hand, I would not have anything but a gear tractor for field work. My preference if I only had 1 tractor would be a power shuttle. For me it will never be a decision I will make since I have 4 tractors and will stay that way.

Yeah for sure. And seriously once I get it and get settled if you want you can come take a look. I would’ve loved to have been able to see one that someone has used, but I think I would’ve made the same decision.

On the hydro can you shift the low medium and high as you’re moving?

No you have to stop.
