HSD vs HST meaning?

[tommyz270]

Anybody know what the difference is between the two on a Kubota? Good luck trying to find anything helpful on their site....

Thanks

It's not too big a problem to find it on their website if you try prior product page. All the labelling might not be there, but anyway, to answer your question:
HST = Hydrostatic transmission
HSD = Hydrostatic transmission 4 wheel drive

Thanks Bird, I found the same on their site.

But, I have found some with HSD and some with HST and they both have 4wd and are hydro-stat...

Yeah my 3400 HST has 4WD.

HSD stands for Hydrostatic Drive
HST stands for Hydrostatic Transmission

Not sure what the difference is.

For the B3200HSD specs it lists HST as the transmission. Maybe it's way to identify the B Series.

Altex - thanks, I think you have it figured out. So, basically, no difference, it's just in the terminology..
