Gear drive vs hydro

Egon, why you be talking like a pirate?

Not knowing any pirates I'm afraid I do not know how they talk. As for the way I talk it's probably cause I'm borderline illiterate!

And then there was a "Jolly Tractor owner" who says Bye's oh Bye's I've put in a full day on my tractor of choice and it's time a stirrup glass of ale tickled my throat and cut the dust for I wish to spend another day at the wheel. He's a jolly jolly fellow and he'll live to drink another cup!

And the pie plate said " Bye's you have to drive a tractor like mine or your not a proper Man". He drinks water pure and he'll die before October!

You got a lot of drinking to do to catch up!

To make a solid determination what the "typical" user needs, it would be helpful to know what "typical" is.

Middle-aged overweight white guy with enough extra cash to buy two yuppie tractors. Am I close?

According to my wife, you just described 97.4% of the US male population, with me being ALMOST "typical", just older than middle-aged.

WAY TOO CLOSE......

Thanks. I knew I was a typical compact tractor owner.

To many (MOST?) of us, price compatability would fall under the wide umbrella of both "WANT" and "NEED".

Well, the vast majority of us don't "NEED" a tractor at all. Much less HST. So you're right. Things get pretty cloudy in regard to want and need.

So why don't we just all say "WANT" and leave it at that? Who can argue with "I want this feature" or "I want this much HP"?

In the final analysis, that's what it's all about. We may "want" something because we need it. We may Want something because it makes the best sense after hours and hours of study. We may want something because our neighbor has something simular, but we generally get what we want, or at the very least, as close to it as we can afford.

Funny how that "afford" concept keeps popping back into focus so often.

I want to be able to afford EVERYTHING!!!!!!

Sounds like a bunch of lightweights and rookies to me.
