Question 1

Question 2

What is the difference between a manual and hydrostatic (HST) tractor?

Accepted Answer

ANSWER
Just as cars offer a choice of manual or automatic transmissions, so do ride on mowers and tractors.

Automatic, or Hydrostatic, transmissions make it easy to control the speed of the machine without worrying about hitting the clutch or shifting gears. Models may offer speed control with a foot pedal or a hand shifter located near the driver's seat. This type of transmission has a top speed limit, but allows you to drive any speed you want up to that limit. The variable speed options make it easy to slow down in your yard's tricky spots without sacrificing faster mowing in smooth areas.

Manual, or Gear Driven, transmissions require you to use the clutch when you change speeds. Also, speeds are set according to the gear you're driving in, so if you need to slow down near an obstacle, you have to change gears to do so. This can be difficult at first, and if your yard is full of trees and flowerbeds, or if you have difficult terrain to mow, you'll be best served by an automatic transmission.

Question 3

How long is the warranty?

Accepted Answer

Question 10

Where are the Tractors made?

Accepted Answer

Answer

It would be nice to buy an Australian made tractor… but that isn’t possible because sadly there are no tractor manufacturers in Australia.

We have searched for the world’s best tractor manufacturer, who has machines to suit even the harshest, most unpredictable conditions Australia has to offer.

All made by Kubota in Japan /USA. Kubota is one of the world’s leading tractor brands. Due to it’s reliability, workmanship and competitive pricing… it is the brand of choice for farmers around Australia the world.
