Good Evening...
Would like some recommendations from the board on the subject tractors...
I will be buying a Kubota M9540 DT-1 or M9540 DH 4WD tractor within the next couple of days...
I will not be buying an FEL and I can get either tractor for less than $300 delta between the two tractors...
95% of this tractor's function will be pulling a 14'-15' batwing mower and I will be mowing 20-30 acres of grass...Not very hilly property at all (worst case would be 60' elevation change over 1000' distance)...
I'm being told that the DH is the way to go because I won't have to clutch to go into reverse...I've never had a tractor that I didn't have to clutch to put in reverse so I don't know if this is a big deal or not...
Again, for almost the same money, would this group go with the Hydraulic drive (DH) over the Synchro-Shuttle transmission and if so, why...
Which system is less problematic..??? Which system is the most field proven..???
I just want to make an informed decision when I buy...If these are both good drives and I can't go wrong with either system I would like to know that too...
I just don't want any problems down the road and clutching is not that big of a deal for me, might be later however...
Thanks in Advance for any assistance on this question...
Regards...
Rick
