That is certainly the answer on smaller tractors.

But the 60+ HP tractors.......more gears are better

I like HST over shuttle shift.

HST over power shuttle? Or standard shuttle? I know part oof what throws people off is that unless you run construction equipmment, most people haven't tried a "Power Shuttle"/"Torq Reverser"/what ever each different company refers to it as.

I'd like to see the manufacturers offer the option of either the treadle peddle or side by side hydrostatic controls. I ignored several very good brands when I was shopping because of my dislike of the treadle peddle.

What is interesting, is that I have owned versions of each and to tell you the absolute truth it just doesn't make any difference. You will adapt to each system in about a days operation. What seems awkward in the dealer's lot becomes a non issue a few hours of operation in. Everyone is different of course, but that was my experience. It seems that out of the box, most people without experience will prefer the side by side setup. But millions of treadle pedal setup tractors have been made, and the users are using them every day and are satisfied with them. I like them both. :)

I always wonder what percentage of people who "dislike" the treadle pedal are trying to put their foot on the front and back at the same time?

I am not a fan of the treadle at all. It was ok on my little Kioti, but I really dislike Kubota's setup, specifically on their Grand L series. I agree that Mfgs should offer an option

Tractors that are safe & simple - no DEF for diesel, no GPS for ways to spend $ . But we have regulation, so then I would like a tractor to have a comfortable seat ! My needs are simple ! Merry Christmas from Nebraska.
