Im trying to decide between the L6060 and MX6000, both in cab models. Primary use of the tractor will be to groom the 3 riding arenas at our boarding farm. The HST+ seemed appealing until I saw the specs and it really just seems to add a lower gear to each range, not a higher one. We produce barrel races here where you need to drag the arena after every 5 rides, so speed is very important. We have a skid steer so loader work is not a priority for this machine. If I am reading all the spec sheets correctly, the MX6000 has a faster travel speed in mid range than the L6060 has in mid-high. So unless the HST+ makes it possible to groom the arenas in high-low and gain an extra 2 mph over the MX6000 in mid, does this "Plus" transmission do anything for me? My experience with a smaller 35 hp HST tractor is you cant even drive up a hill in high range, no less groom a riding arena.
