What is the hydrostatic transmission?

A hydrostatic transmission (HST) exists any time a hydraulic pump is connected to and dedicated to one or more hydraulic motors. These transmissions produce a speed-torque characteristic that is hyperbolic, and they are used primarily to prevent lugging of the prime mover.

Are hydrostatic mowers good for hills?

Smooth Acceleration & Control. The Cadet’s hydrostatic transmission allows for smooth starts and stops, making it ideal for mowing hills or rough ground. Even starting from a dead stop on a slope was easy and smooth with no jumping or spinning of the wheels.

What is the difference between hydrostatic and automatic?

An automatic transmission performs much like the transmission in a car — you control speed with the gas pedal. A hydrostatic transmission works like an automatic transmission, but uses fluid rather than belts to transfer power from the engine to the wheels.

CVT transmissions like this will replace hydrostatic transmissions in lawn and yard tractors. Unlike Hydrostatic Transmissions there are no pumps, motors or hydraulic oil to wear out. The transmission is sealed and never needs maintenance. In fact you probably will never have to replace the CVT belt.
