DCT on the Honda, yes I think. Not a fan of dual clutches!! No low range either!! Surprised you’re using the brakes that much on the Yam but the pads are quite thin when new!!!
Average field size is sub 5acre so a lot of gate stoppages, also tows the trailers a lot and the rappa DF etc. I also drive 1 sided/handed a lot so throttle brakes get used 90% of the time. Can’t really fault it as brakes are wear and tare.

Wait until the Honda DCT Starts putting a “-“ across the screen instead of a gear number, then your in trouble and it’s happened a few times with mine!! Also ES is far better on fuel than in D, D is emergency only and only to be used when holding on a sheep and your elbow can’t reach the “^” button. In D mine doesn’t change half quick enough, it doesn’t change quick enough in ES either mind, it’s a good few 3-4 seconds behind my pressing and by that time the sheep has f’offed 50 metres away
