As I was writing my comments why I preferred driving my Kubota rather than the Ford, I actually could not recall why, Yes the over run in the PTO. That was 20 years ago and the Kubota was new to me.
After moving to Vermont 14 years ago I had borrowed a few different rigs to mow my fields each year till I owned a big mower, a 420 Deere with a sickle was very interesting. Way off balance on the sidehills and I am not used to governed throttle. Damn that antique kept me awake, especially roading it from the farm to my land, as one who drives race cars I never would have thought 18 mph would be way to fast.
