I am trying to understand the difference between the transmissions. The tractors I am considering have a quite a variety: 8x2, 9x3, 12x12, full synch, partial synch, and mesh.
I am sure some require a clutch to engage to shift while others are clutchless. As I have had two knee surgerys (both on left knee) I wonder about using a clutch causing me a problem. Sometimes I get a little sore in bad traffic here in Dallas while driving my standard.
Does anyone have bad knees and wish for an upgraded tractor? I would like to purchase a no-frills, 50 HP utililty tractor, but wonder if the transmission is a frill I should consider.
