How long have CUT\'s had hydro\'s
When I bought my first compact utility tractor (not even sure they used that moniker back then) in 1979. It was a Kubota L345DT(by the way I still have it) with a non synchro gear tranny. I bought this configuration because it was the option available back then. Even models with shuttle shifts didn't start showing up for a couple of years. So when did hydro's start becoming available in mass? I know there was a few oddballs and one off types running around, but when did the major manufacturers start offering them to the public?
I would also like to know how many of you out there today, that beleive that hydro's are the only way to go. Would still have bought a CUT if that tecnology wasn't available today?
