I have owned gear and HST. No idea how much HST costs at the wheels but for many the convenience of HST is worth the loss of power. I happen to me one those who will gladly give up a little HP for the convenience.
Agree 100%
Had a small Kubota B7500 hst. Needed a bigger tractor, so went with a geared MF1540 since it was a few grand cheaper than an HST one.
Absolutely hated the geared tractor; was a pain to use for my type of work. Traded it in for the exact same tractor but HST within a year. Much happier. No noticeable difference in power - brush hogging, tilling, snow blower, dirt moving, etc with four fiam filled tires.
