JCB power shift Vs hydrostatic

[Just because]

Currently looking at upgrading telehandler (second hand) mixed farming beef sheep and arable just looking at pro and cons looking at a JCB 526-56 power shift and 527-58 hydrostatic both machines 2018. Currently got Manitou 628t P reg

 

[John Deere 8530]

Would definitely go for the hydrostatic, so much smoother and quicker. You won't want to go back to a power shift.

The cab in the 527 sits quite low so visibility isn’t as good
If you tow then the power shift will be better

Have few low tight shed so one of the appeals would like options of towing a trailer seed to drill ect
