I prefer gear drives because you can put it in gear and go...with a hydro, you'll be moving the lever with each change in load to maintain a constant speed. However, at a plow day, I prefer a hydro because there's always gonna be somebody in front of you that doesn't have enough weight, has the plow set up wrong, is using a JD, etc, that is going really slow, and it gets to be kind of a pain letting the clutch in and out in 1st gear on a gear drive when that happens.
