Looking at getting another tractor. Kubota in a compact frame. Who’s doing hydrostatic and who’s doing gears? Thoughts and why… I’m gears on bigger stuff but entertaining the idea of HST with a end loader on this one.

Tractor…to HST or Gear
- Thread starter joel2000

Depending on primary use? I got the shuttle shift because I planned on moving large piles of woodchips. Worked out well for me.
I love the HST on my Kubota. Much smoother and quicker if doing a lot of stopping to change directions. Comes in real handy with the FEL and bushhog.
I bought a 3901 to replace a Ford 2600(I regret not keeping it) And went with gear because I do mowing, scraping and tilling. If Primary FEL work I'd invest in another tractor with hydro. Big time saver with little loss of power.
General cleanup type loader work. Haven’t looked into the shuttle shift and not sure if it’s available on the compact tractor frame. Interesting…I’ll have to check that out
On this one I’m trying to decide B series or L. Actually like the L2501 better i think . It’s basically a no frills tractor vs the B
Mine is geared but has a shifter and you clutch to move it F to R but don't have to complete stop. You do have to come to complete stop, or should, to change gears.
Which tractor do you have?
That’s what I have. The L2501. Does everything I needed it for. In “L” speed setting, it will push the loader into a pile of gravel and pick it up and move it no problem.
I could be wrong but B is Sub and L is Compact. Now i need go over and peruse the Kubota website....
