Your needs may not be as demanding as mine, but I have found the hydrostatic much safer in confined areas as well...when you lift off the paddle in forward or reserve, the tractor stops right away - zero delay.
Listen to Paul - he is right. I spent all day yesterday moving snow on my manual shift JD.......I knew better when I bought it, but it was local, a great deal and the only one available.....I'll upgrade when the right deal comes along.
