It's good to have both a hydro and a gear drive. I absolutely hate tilling with a hydro. I hate mowing with a gear drive.
What is the negative to using a hydro for tilling? My thoughts are that whichever tractor I go with will be mostly for tilling.

I am already pretty well covered for mowing. I have a little over four acres, with more than half "pasture" that I use my Super A with an L59 to mow two or maybe three times a year. I have an old snapper zero turn that works awesome for the "yard". I recently picked up a cub lo boy (not a 154/184) with a 4' belly mower as "backup". I also have five or six old cubs that I inherited from my dad that need resto, but a couple work well enough to run another 4' woods ,mower I have, in case the pasture needs mowing. In addition, dad gave me a troy bilt horse tiller that threw the rod. He fixed the motor (had the case welded and installed a new rod, bearings and rings) but he stalled on getting it back on the tiller due to a blood clot in his leg.
