If it had a mid range it would be nice for some things like tedding as I had to run the rpms around 2000 but move a little quicker than the highest speed in low range at 2000rpms. It was ok though I just had to keep it in high and adjust my throttle for hills to keep it around 2000rpms. That being said the tractor is still probably the best in its size class as it can do the work of a big tractor in a compact size for a compact price.
