As was said,a Hydro does NOT hAve a TA.Nor does it have a clutch.It is just a variable displacement piston pump 'piggy backed' to a piston type motor. There is NO mechanical conection between the engine and transmission. only hydralic oil.The pedal is simply a 'dump valve'.The lever on the side isa a HI/LO range gear 'box'. Only use HI while running down the road,or pulling a wagon. Use Low anytime you are working in the field. (you dont drive your car in hi gear all day in town,do you?)Keep the engine speed up to pto speed,or wide open if fully loaded.Contrary to popular belief,you can use a hydro for tillage.You just have to know how to run them.They are not very efficent,but are fully capable.They do shine at PTO work(like baleing hay).Clean oil of the correct type and spec is CRITICAL for long life.Sounds like your Hydro is just worn out and 'slipping'.They do slow down more/pull harder up hills.That is their nature.The 'parasitic' draw.When going up a hill,simply pull back on the hydro lever,let it breath They do use more fuel,simply because the engine is at full throttle at all times. Yse the hydro to vary speed,not the throttle.Yes they can be 'pricey' to oh.But try buying a running tractor for the repair bill.....Compare to OHing/rebuilding a JD Powershift.I think you will find the hydro will be cheaper.But nobody ever complains about the JD ....LOL. BTW,I have owned 3 Hydros,and been around them all my life.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
