Can anyone out there tell me where I can find out how much wheel-horsepower there is for a L3710HST vs a L3710DT (Gear) tractor when both are equipped with the same tire set-up. The specifications from Kubota only list the differences in PTO horsepower and I am curious how much horsepower is lost at the wheels with the hydrostatic transmission. I recentlly drove a L3010HST and then a L3010DT and was amazed at the difference in power especially pulling hills.
I am considering purchasing a L3710HST because everyone I talk too says hydros are the best way to go for mowing, plowing snow, and loader work. But, it seems like a waste to pay more money for the hydro if you are going to give up horsepower which may be needed in a tough situation.
Does the convience of the Hydo out weight the power loss?
Is the power lost minimal?
Thanks for any info anyone may have.
