I'd go with the dealer you are happiest with, & the machine that 'feels' right to you. There is little substantial difference any more, all are pretty good polished machines. I much much prefer a manual tranny, but that is my preference. You loose a little hp with the hydro, loose a little efficiency, and it costs more. Since I drive tractors all day long,t he manual is _much_ easier for me to know how things are going - I get feedback from it. The hydro is like driving a marshmellow, I don't know what is slipping exactly. But, that is all just personal preference, just me. I'd look at New Holland, the Case you mention is basically a clone of it - the NH would be the 'original' & sometimes a bit less for a more tested components. Kubota is equally as good - you musta just had a bad deal with that one unit. JD is ok, but my personal preference gets in the way..... ;) Park your rear in all of them, 7 buy from the dealer you like. You won't really go wrong as long as you stay away from the China imports. --->Paul
