I thought I'd want a gear drive after growing up on them on the farm. I test drove a few TYM HST models and was sold. I have a 4-range hydro which gives me indefinite speeds. High range is really transport speed. I generally work in 2-3 ranges. Low range is probably 1/2 mile per hour at PTO speed? It's nuts. The cruise control is nice for field work, as is the auto throttle... I set the throttle to my desired minimum, sort of nice for a unit with DPF, then the engine RPM follows pedal displacement after that. Really nice feature.
