Submoa- at your service!
Major brand hydros are now as reliable and almost as efficient as mechanical transmissions.
Here’s the cool part- when the clutch is going out on a 10 year old mechanical transmission, the HST is still going strong.
Plus- the convenience for loader work can’t be beat!
In the end- many guys have moved to CVT and IVT transmissions on tractors in the 500+ hp range- some of those components are similar to what you find in a small compact HST. Those big transmissions go 14,000 plus hours.
