I just watched a video that compared results from two tractors. One with an HST; the other an 8 speed gear transmission. The results were a surprise in that the gear transmission seriously out-pulled the HST transmission in a tillage example. I could see the gear trans a little better but it seriously out-pulled the HST. The test was slightly flawed because of HST range selection issues so I'll ask here...
Has anyone had the chance to work the same--or similar-- tractor with an HST and then later a gear transmission and can offer a comparison of traction and pulling power? How does an HST compare with a gear trans in the same tractor? This would be in a tillage situation like pulling a disc harrow or cultivators on dry ground. Any thoughts on this?
