Gear drive vs hydro

[N80]

Sorry, youre glossing over points made and jumping around to suit your argument. Mine is a more accurate interpretation of the composite of points you have manipulated thruout the thread. Unfortunately, some good information is lost by the necessity to keep it brief, non self contradictory, and accurate to the ultimate point:

Well, let's see how this works. First, you try to summarize my stance in this matter. Then I, the one who you are trying to summarize, say that you have failed to do so accurately AND explain very clearly and precisely how you have failed to do so, you simply counter with the yes-you-did/no-you-didn't argument....for the sake of brevity.

If you are going to contend that I don't know what my own point is then it is incumbent on you to provide the evidence. And posting your inaccurate assessment in bold red letters doe not make it true.

Don't expect me or anyone else accept it just because you say so. If you wish to defend your point, do so by addressing mine. Otherwise, my explanation stands.

We'll George it's all your fault.
After our back and forth about R1 vs R4 tires in another thread, my contention that one of the benefits of my R4's was a higher ply rating and that I had never had a flat has come back to haunt me. I walked out this evening to move some burn barrels that were full with my tractor and found one of my front tires flat and off the rim.

I will now let you guys slug it out before my pro hydro stance gets me as well.

In the end it's been entertaining, and the one thing I have learned is that myself, and especially George has way too much time to burn at the moment.

Yep, like I said a while back, after hyping my legendary prowess with a clutch, mine is bound to fail prematurely. Karma can be a real you-know-what. You tempt her and she'll bite you in the heiney.

I have TYM 330 HST. It is my first ractor so I don't have a good reference point. The tractor has both speed governor as well as cruise control so in that sense the PTO speed can be tied to certain constant ground speed.
As to the horse power loss issue. The wheel often start sliping even in FWD with diff locked before I run out of power.
There is a cost nobody mentioned so far: Complete oil change runs about 250 USD every 300 hours.
The operating manual also suggests to warm up the oil in hydro for about 20 to 40 minutes during freezing weather. Don't know if geared tractors needs such long warm up too.
Needless to say the tractor is troublefree so far after 70 hours of hard FEL work.

I think we split hairs a little too fine here.

Mowing the grass.. as it specifically spells out.. seems like a generic term where you are mowing.. grass.. doesn't seem to indicate location.

Mowing the pasture deffinately has an ag sound to it.

Mowing the lawn has a 'lawnmower' sound to it.

Mowing the grass means some grass. somewhere.. is going to get mowed.

Remember logical data sets in statistics.. population inside of circle A, seperate population inside of cicle B.. and Circle C encompases circle A & B.. A= (grass)lawn.. B= (grass)pasture C = any grass.. Thus A&B...

A couple minutes at most.. and usually.. none.. is what I do for my gear jobs... course.. it rarely gets lower than mid 20's here in florida..

Here in Minnesota it's best to start it and walk away for a few minutes before trying to use it when -20 or colder. Actually when I think about it, it's best to stay inside.

I concur.

Yes, if you will do a search there are great threads on R1 vs R4 tires as well as double piloted check valves vs no check valves, airplanes on conveyor belts, 4wd vs 2wd, 4wd ws MFWD. And if you can't find one, just post one with one of those titles. It'l grow like a Chia Pet on steroids.

Don't forget John Deere vs. Kubota!
