On the subject of HST vs gear... In my search for a new tractor, I came across the Yanmar YT series. I have to say that I am impressed...

Thanks ptsg. I did get a message from my dealer that 5835s are no longer available, so I'll take a look at a 4058 if one shows up...

Speaking of the 4020 (and other JD tractors of that era), I've always thought it was pretty cool that the classic Nelson "rain train"...
