Any Gear tractor will have MORE available PTO power than a Hydro driven PTO. Also a lot heavier, even without loaded tires.
The PTO IS direct drive.
On a 25 hp its usually 1.5 to 2 hp more, which is important on a Brush Hog.
Gear tractors have a Cast Iron Transmission which gives higher lift capacities on the 3 pt hitch.
If you go Orange, any Orange, you should get some Ceramic paint coating and get it on the tractor when it warms up. The paint fades at a rate of 15x what car paint does.
Seems like it has NO UV protection ( totally based on experience)
