It may be true some automation can perform better than some humans. That just proves American's are not only to lazy to shift, but also too stupid to know how to do it properly.
There is also a huge difference between a true automatic, which no tractor has, and a power robbing hydro which...
All that proves is most people don't know how to drive. Look at the numbers of a tractor offered with both hydro and gear drive, same crankshaft horsepower, but the gear drive tractor will always have more PTO horsepower. Because efficiency.
You live a different, and richer, country than I do then.
Just because something costs more, it doesn't make it better. Gear drive is more efficient, you can't change physics. American's are too lazy to shift. Cars, trucks, tractors, you name it, too lazy to shift.
A common, and irritating, problem across every manufacturer's parts list I've ever looked at. Why provide a spec and make it easy to buy a common part, like a bolt, elsewhere, when instead you can charge, and get, $5 for a 59 cent part.
Gee imagine that, manufacturers recommending ONLY their oil, IE, more money for them, be used in their machines. :ROFLMAO:
The oil may, or may not, be superior, but the main reason is profit for them.
Is there room between the outside of your back tires and the inside of gauge wheels on the deck, or whatever comes closest to the tires? If so, you have that much room, minus a little for some clearance, for spacers.
If you haven't mounted the deck yet, the safest and surest way to determine...
Just what exactly is your definition of "grading scraper"? Land planes are closer to true graders than box blades, which are a little better than simple scraper blades. Though scraper blades can be adequate with the addition of gauge wheels well behind them.
Mid mount graders are the only...
Sounds to me like your running up against the inadequacy of the hydro drive. Gear drive is far more efficient.
Most Americans are too lazy to push in a clutch, thus gear drive tractors, of all sizes from 10HP up, are available virtually everywhere but the United States.
What do they use to grade roads? What do they use to prepare roadbeds for paving?
Mid mount grader blades.
40 years ago, they were common attachments because they work. Today, you'll have to build your own as I did.
Different situation, but Curtis is aftermarket so might have a fitment issue here and there. I have a BX2670 with rear remotes that I had a Curtis Cab put on. The installer made allowances to get the cab on, but the rear panel wouldn't come off without removing the bottom bolts it latches to...
Thanks, yes, custom mounts. Took me a while to get the exact lengths and angles worked out. Once in use, I might have been able to mount them a little closer to the cab, but it was kinda tough working out just far ahead they had to be to see and use them fully.
Has anyone installed an REI?
Looking at this one from Northern Tool as it's about the one that comes complete and fits my cab.

I used to run ag tires because they tore up my yard less than turfs. Many will say not possible, but it is. The ads didn't spin on the hills, and that made all the difference in the world. What worked for me, may not work for others. I just had to say that because of your all so honest...
