That's the word I got today from a local dealer. I road tested a 1635 with
HST and a 1533 with SynchroSshuttle shift. I'm not a "clutch" type of driver but the 1533 was very easy. And the H-DT forward and reverse gear was a great feature too. What I liked about the 1635HST was the fact that there are two pedals for forward and reverse. Since the 1500 series is on the way out I might seriously consider the 1600 series but the 1500 series has a $1200 rebate which is hard to pass up too. So many decisions..so little time.
One thing I learned so far in my adventure to own a tractor, you gotta get your butt in the seat and drive it. Seat height, position to the steering wheel, position of the sticks and levers all play a role.
