I have never used the DT other than a quick test drive so I really can't comment on how it compares grunt wise to a HST. I can load gravel in Medium range with my HST, but notice a real difference when I shift it into low, 4wd whether using the loader, pulling a full sized 4' box blade, digging rocks, or pulling stumps. In all those cases it has produced enough torque to spin the tires before I run out of power. I just bought the box blade, and the added weight back there does add to the grunt that I feel. I did have a BX for a few years, and feel a noticable difference with this tractor. I had bar tires on that, and R-4's on this one but the larger engine, weight, and especially the larger, loaded tires make a clear difference in pulling, pushing power.
