You know...

...the L39's a pretty interesting machine. Is it only available with the GST, or is it still available with HST?

The L39 has always been available with GST. There is no option for HST. That has been a complaint with some people looking at the L39.

I would have to say it first was a concern of mine, wondering how I would adjust - but it wasn't a problem at all and I like it a lot now that I'm used to it.

Its a little different flavor but once accustomed, its no longer a complaint!

I had to set Duc straight on the GST , he was worried.
but after you drive it. you see how nice it is. no clutching needed.

Craig , go drive one. and you will love it.
after i drove it for only 15 min. it was like second nature.
you wont miss HST. shuttle is nice.

if you think a 3320 has power Go drive the L39 it will pull
a house down...

What i think i know???
An auto shuttle will put more power to the ground than hydrostatic drive.
An auto shuttle is less complicated so repairs will be easier and reliability will be higher.
Changing gears on a tractor is not usually nesessary once the proper one for the task has been selected.
Forward and reverse are the most used transmission function.

Gunmaker -

You can swing by and try it out, or be a helper with me for the afternoon to see if you like it - Im willing to bet you will love it

Thanks, I'll definitely consider taking you up on that when the time arrives. I would like to see some side by side, front by front etc pics comparing the L39 to the 2520.
