Yeah the dynaQPS is pretty cool. Played with one at the dealership for a little while. For a PS, it was nice. I had thought about going with a 1660 dyna for the extra ponies, but after playing in the dirt with it, especially in tight quarters (and I do a lot of landscape stuff very close to structures) I couldn't give up my HST.

My next tractor (which is to say, my hopefully "additional" tractor) will be 1 or 2 sizes bigger and will be PS. That one, I'll use for bigger road/gravel work and bigger snow accounts.

I think that Dyna Power Shuttle looks slicker than poo.
I would like to try one of those.

Evidently you didn't bother to read what I quoted from TSO where he claimed "HST is faster. It has nothing to do with skill."

Oh, I read it, but you're still comparing apples-to-oranges. With the same operator, the HST will be faster for the kinds of tasks we're talking about (not tilling a field). Skill has nothing to do with it, because we're comparing machines, not operators.

Which kind of tractor transmission is better at nothing to do and all day to do it.

No, this was a "what should I buy" discussion that went sideways. I don't know who prompted that....

I think I'm gonna get back to that "how to wreck tons of stuff in 30 days" thread.....or maybe it's called " if I only had some gears I might go slow enough to not wreck all my stuff" thread. Or was it "if only I was using appropriate tools for the job" thread. Oh, I don't know, I'll likely never find it again.

 

[holeycow]

Oops, did I use my outside voice for that?

 

[TSO]

No, this was a "what should I buy" discussion that went sideways. I don't know who prompted that....

Uhhhhh ... That was you. He had already made the purchase when you joined in and questioned why sometime would buy an NX over an RX...instead of joining the thread and congratulating him on his new purchase.

You're definitely one to go down with the sinking ship, aren't ya?

 

[holeycow]

And you don't really get sarcasm.

Sinking ship? I think not.

And sorry about that op. Congrats on the tractor. It will be sweet. Kiotis are good machines and you made a good choice.
I had no idea that some of the guys would be so touchy about an honest tractor choice question. You must have shares in hst's r - us or something.

Dang it. Blub, blub, blub. At least the band is still playing.

I'm sorry, but you're not correct when you say it's a moot point. It all depends on the activities being done. For precision work, with equal machines, HST IS faster and easier. It has nothing to do with skills. With ground engagement work (and traditional farming activities), the tractors will most likely be equally fast, however the gear tractor will put more power to the ground and because the precision and ease of HST wouldn't be necessary, the cheaper gear trans option would likely be more appropriate.

I am sorry to bust your bubble here but it does have everything to do with skills!

You claim to be stating facts but in reality its not fact but rather your opinion based on your experience at your skill level not his or mine.

I think some of the city slickers are just afraid of a clutch. I'm done.
