I recently attended my first plow day in western Ohio. I met with Merk and others and had a great deal of fun. Merk was kind enough to show and allow me to plow with his "stock" 149. Starting next spring I want to attend some plow day events. As many of you know, I have a Cub House full of Quietlines and a few Wide frames. My question is what transmission pulls better...gear or hydro? If I use one of my hydros...I will update the dump valves, trunions/linkage and replace the pressure relief spring. Don't worry I will not shim it to increase the the pressure. I have all the necessary hitches, ag tires and weights. If I use a gear drive unit....it will probably be an old 128 that will have an updated clutch and drive line.
