I notice there are several brands and models of farm size tractors out there now with hydraulic transmissions (hydrostatic). Some of them have been around a long time and from what little I know of the early models they had some troubles.
My first impression would be that a gear driven tranny would be more reliable and trouble free but, on further thought there are a lot of machines today (IE. Skid steer loaders) that are very reliable and most that I am familiar with run with a total hydraulic drive system.
What are your experiences with modern hydrostatic transmissions in comparison to gear driven ones? (not in lawn mowers but in tractors used in tillage and "farm" work) Are they trouble free and reliable or just a big headache? Thanks.
