Comparison Which manufacturer has the highest HP true HST tractor?

[Bavarian]

I'm not sure about the Command8 that John Deere puts in the new 5R series. Starting at 90 Hp.

I see, well Deutz-Fahr makes the 5100 TTV with a SAME manufactured transmission and the 3.6 four cylinder in that model puts out around 70hp

Interesting tractor, upscale in many respects, surprised at the tire size being so small, 16" front and 24"rear rims.
Also the 5100 TTV is not available in the US it is a Canadian model only.
Also using the dealer search, 5 in Canada and only 1 in the US.
At one time some of the older Deutz were sold around here, not many and they were the air cooled.
I haven't seen a new Deutz in person in well over 30 years.
They look and read like a nice tractor, high end but nice.

GST is just Kubota for power shuttle, at least on their CUTs. Wet clutch with a hydraulically shifted transmission. There is usually a dry clutch in there too, not that you strictly need it.

Personally I never got the feel for the engagement timing in the couple hours I ran a L3?30 GST my brothers father-in-law has. I ended up using the clutch a fair bit. Probably would have gotten mostly onto the shuttle lever with a few more hours of seat time. Good transmissions, but still a bit more of a learning curve than HST, especially for precision work.

I learned to drive a tractor with a Massey Industrial 30, so I still use a clutch out of habit, but I don't need to use it.
