Hey guys .. I enjoy mechanics ... and i was watching the tail end of a video on a branson tractor, and the owner said he got the shuttle shift b/c he didn't like the idea of the hydrostat using the same hydro fluid as the hydraulics. He admitted he doesn't know if it's a big deal, but he personally like the idea of the shuttle shift better for that reason.
I didn't realize that's how the hydrostat worked, but it makes sense.
So I'm just wondering if that guys concern is a real concern. He was saying the fluid gets hot, etc. In my mind if the hydro fails then also your trans fails. For this reason the shuttle being a separate system does make sense.
So how about it, for reliability does the shuttle offer any more reliability? Or is the HST good to go?
