I apologize if this is is a basic question but as some of you know I am strongly considering a Kubota M series with the hydraulic shuttle.
When I am out bush hogging with a tractor that is non hydro and have my PTO going with the engine speed set appropriately for PTO 540 RPMs, when I come to the end of my field and have to execute a turn, what is the right way for me to slow the tractor down for the turn?
With a hydro, I just let up on the pedal as it does not affect my engine speed.
With a manual transmission like my MF 255 or a tractor with a hydraulic shuttle do I just step on the brakes as I would for a car that is in DRIVE? I can use the steering brake I imagine or do I shift into a lower gear to slow the speed?
