The results of this thread so far; Those who love geared transmissions still love them. Those who love HST's still love them. And some of us could live quite happily with either. Pretty much exactly the same results as before the thread was started.
There seems to be an ego-feeding assumption that people with HSTs don't know how to run a clutch which really isn't the case. Meanwhile, it would be interesting to compile the data on HST problems and then compare that to how many people are splitting a tractor to put in a clutch in the compact tractor space. Personally, I think it is pointless to purchase a compact tractor with a clutch and gears as they are such small machines that any potential benefit of a power shuttle transmission will never be realized.
