Thank you, this was very helpful as we shop for our first tractor!

I've had both powershuttle and hydrostat. Hydrostat wins hands down for me. No comparison in Agility and speed of maneuvering.

Thanks Henry for the good videos.

Am looking for a good cab tractor for mowing. I like the Mahindra and RK tractors based on cost. I had to take a nitro pill after my Deere dealer gave me his quote for a 37 hp tractor. I have always like shuttle shift since our Deere crawlers on the farm had them, and they were 1960s vintage machines. However, after seeing your video and how Mahindra requires you to use the clutch to switch directions I think I'll revisit the RK tractors again. All the directional reverser (shuttle shift) tractors I've used didn't require the clutch at all.

Henry, what is the cost difference and which is more reliable? I am getting ready to buy the 1635 cab model and quoted a HST. Mostly like to k kw which is more reliable.

Repair and maintenance cost differences? DIY vs Dealer only serviceable differences?

Why don’t you do a video on the new 3640, you can do one alone and one comparing it to the older version 3540 and show the differences between the tractors.

Hydrostatic = modern day luxurious automatic. Shuttle shift = 1980's left leg muscle car workout.

Does shuttle outlast hydrostat? I heard hydrostat needs rebuilt at 3k hours.
