Who makes the higher HP HST utility tractor?

[JerryK]

The operator station turns 210 degrees on the NH.

AND, if I could get someone to loan me one for, say about 20 years... or gift me one.. I would spend endless hours evaluating it, taking pictures, and posting long reviews here on TBN. I would take one for the team, even add a taller section onto my barn to house it. Possibly even try to procreate with it on occasion......

and it's interesting to see the range of mph per gear. Must be set up for row crop farming, pretty fast in first speed; no granny gear here, so it's a bit big for the OP's question about utility tractors.
But if one appeared near my barn with the keys in it, well....

I would think it is more of a utility tractor than row crop. It is able to handle a multitude of tasks with front and rear hitches, bi directional design and hst transmission for loader tasks.

In the lowest range gear it can still pull within a few hundred pounds of its weight. Since it is a hydrostatic tractor the low forward speeds are there with high tractive force. In the low range I suspect it can spin the tires or handle faster travel speeds than we would normally expect to see.

With about 14.5 hp hours/gallon it is not as efficient as gear tractors which should be about 16 hp hours/gallon. But if the benefits it offers are what is needed it would be a handy tractor to have. Great for stop and go work such as the laser grading work I do so much of.

Me too.

When I first read about it and the rotating operators station I thought it would be very handy for large grading jobs with the seat turned to the side. Reminds me of the large rollers on the highway jobs with the side mounted seat. Very handy for the back and forth travel where you experience neck problems. I also like the fact that you can back up at a faster speed without having to shift gears much.

Fendt have some nice gearboxes:

0 shifting, because the unique
Fendt Vario transmission permits continuously variable speed adjustment from 20 m/h to 40 km/h.

When we are a bit off topic, why turn the seat when you can just turn the cab
