Aeblank, he backhoe he is adding is a BH95... which is definitely a subframe mount... is that what I want, or does that not release quickly?
None of them attach all that quickly. A subframe mount is stronger. 3-point mounts have been known to crack/break transmission housings.
Throttle-Up Switch
Auto Throttle Advance
Hydro Dual Speed (H-DS) HST Hi-Lo Function
HST Response Control
HST Mode Selection
To know if that justifies a $2,000 greater payment for a USED machine.
Again, I'm a Kubota guy, so I obviously do (and did, with my money) say yes.

The 2 speeds within the 3 ranges is sweet. For instance, high turtle is about the same as medium rabbit. (low, medium and high all having a turtle and a rabbit). So if I'm hauling down the driveway, but need more power for the hill, I can toss it into turtle instead of having to switch into medium range.
Throttle up is nice in some ways, but I rarely use it. It just increases the engine RPM as you depress the "go" pedal. I find it somewhat "over-revving" depending on what I"m doing. It turns on/off with the flip of a lever, and I do use it sometimes.
The mode selection includes stall guard. So it automatically reduces the HST pedal so as to not stall the tractor. Going up a hill, I keep it "floored" and it slows down instead of bogging/stalling.

As others have said, it's not "needed". Like a heated steering wheel in a car. It's way more important to have an SSQA on the loader, which the 3940 has.
Oh yeah, it has the bigger loader too (LA724 vs LA524), so that's nice.
