The Boomer 8n that I played with did not have any whine. I agree that HST noise cab be annoying...But not so annoying that I'd choose CVT over HST in a CUT.

Both are good. I like my CVT on the Boomer 8N. It is like driving a car with a gas pedal and a brake pedal next to each other. There is no whine. You never have to worry about being in the wrong gear. The Hi/Med/Lo range switch just limits the % of available speed, 30%/60%/100%, to make the pedal more responsive. I run mine in Low except when mowing, then it's in High range as the cruise control only works in High range. My Boomer 8N doesn't have a loader as I bought it to mow with. For loader work I prefer the HST on the TC40DA.
The only real complaint I have is that the Boomer 8N headlights look neat but don't put out any light.
How is your chrome ROPS holding up? Any rust?
