In the past, I was a landscape contractor. We had 2 Kubota L series tractors and a Case 580K. All were shuttle shift of one form or another. The hydro is pretty awesome, and you will never have a clutch issue. Kubota hydrostatic transmissions require their "super" UDT oil, which is pricey.

I would not go back to any type of geared tranny, but it will cost you a HP or two at the PTO shaft.
