I've narrowed my tractor choices to the JD 2520 and the Kubota B2920 or B3030. They seem to be very similar and there are some specific features that I prefer on each. One seemingly big difference, however, is the Deere has a 2-speed HST vs. 3-speeds on the Kubotas. I've tried to find information on the speed and torque ratings in each range of each HST, but have come up empty. One Green dealer told me the third range on the Orange tractors is a "creeper" range. Sounds good for pulling stumps, but not so attractive for mowing. I'm not sure I believe this comment, but it got me thinking about how to determine how big an advantage the 3-speed would be. Does anyone have any data and/or real world experience with this question? I'll be using the tractor for mowing, occasional landscaping (FEL work) and moving wood around to support my woodburner. Knowing the experience base on this forum, this should spark some debate and I hope honest opinions.
Thanks,
Chuck
