Last spring I drove a neighbors 1428v gear, (the predecessor to the 1528), before I bought my JD. It was really a nice tractor, and the gear transmission was the smoothest shifting gear I'd ever driven. I really liked the fact that it had 3 ranges, instead of 2 like the JD 790/3005 has. That really spread the gears out in an efficient pattern and made them all comfortable for use at any RPM. If I hadn't of gotten a good deal on the JD than I think I probably would have bought a 1528.
