Ive been lurking here for over a year now and still dont have a tractor. Our riding mower decided to die yesterday, so depending on what it costs to repair it, I may now have the perfect reason to buy the tractor we need, but cant really afford.
I looking for a tractor in the 25-30 hp range, with a FEL and mower (hopefully mid mount as thats what Im used to). I did some reseach last night and found that the hydro transmission adds about $1500-2000 to the cost of a tractor on the green, orange and blue. Thats a bunch of money that I dont have.
What I need to know, is...are any value priced tractors available that use a geared transmission that allow shifting while you are moving, including changing between forward and reverse? I would potentially be interested in non-major brands such as Cub, Kioti or Massey if anyone can supply information. Another feature that I'd really like to have is a PTO that continues to turn even if the tractor is not moving (live?).
Thanks for any information,
Jon
