My first post - but I've read a lot of threads and learned a ton from all of you.
I'm shopping for the replacement for my JD 850. Based on dealers in my area it is really only Kubota and JD and maybe Bobcat (but they only have a few dusty CUTs and a lot full of skidsteers and excavators) and maybe MF (but they only have one demo CUT and a field full of swathers and combines).
I'm down to the 3320/3520 for JD or the L3800/GL3540 for Kubota.
The HST+ on the GrandL 40 series seems like a really nice feature and pretty unique to Kubota.
BUT... is it actually useful or is it just good ideas and hype?
Dual speed - use it or just leave it at one speed?
HST Response Control - do you use different settings for different tasks or just set it and forget it?
Three modes (regular/stall-guard/auto HDS) - switch between them for different tasks or not?
Thanks for the wisdom of experience.
