Why snip out the pertinent part of your reply that stated you only need one gear as thats all thats used anyhow.....that was the point being made.............Just because your in the dark on how a hydrostatic tranny works as compared to mechanical drive trannys and too cheap to have one, why knock em...........There is absolutely no advantage a gear drive in a L & G tractor has over a hydro drive.........hands down its the better , no, BEST way to go.....Has all the power at low speeds as well as high all with just pushing the pedal down...........simple enough for even you to operate......I hope!
