Agreed on taking some time to learn the HST+ and how to optimize its performance, I am still learning. When I tried the tractor out on the lot, I was a bit underwhelmed. The owner, who is semi-retired was the only one available to show it to me and he is more comfortable on the bigger geared units as he still farms with them. We have developed a friendship over the years and it was kind of funny as neither of us knew nearly enough about it and it consisted of a lot of jerking, false starts etc.
It is really easy to learn what does what once you get it, but some things won't help some of us and others will, I am so use to driving these things, I just can't bring myself to use stall guard, but it's a great feature. The dual range feature alone would be worth the cost of admission for me as I use it constantly.
