Well a good auto is a good thing, reminds me of a story I heard many
years ago, a road train was stuck on a wheat farm in WA and they got a
D9 in to pull it out, after breaking the first chain they got a bigger
chain, D9 bogged down. Got in a Allis Chalmers N9 harvester with
hydrostatic transmission, N9 ripped the road train out of bog.
Moral of story? HP applied gradually is better than HP applied suddenly.

I can't think of a single situation that an auto is preferable over a
real transmission, especially offroad. (unless you broke your left
leg or shot yourself in the left foot, which I don't intend to do.)
