I'm surprised you'd pick the gear model for landscaping, over the HST. The only advantages of the gear model over the HST are that it's a little cheaper and can get a little more power to the ground, balanced against the convenience of the HST especially when using the loader. I thought I wanted a gear model, as I had never even ridden an HST model before, much less owned one, but got talked into it and am glad I got it. I must admit it is very easy to work with.

Part of getting "talked into it" was the price: $14,000 out the door, cash, with an additional $400 in rebate from Mahindra. That's only about $500 more than the best price I could find for a gear model, though it had a better rebate at the time, at $600. I'm a very happy little tractor owner.
