I recently purchased a Kubota with a GST transmission at an auction and really trying to understand it. Some of my questions are......... Is it totally 100% gear driven? Does it use the hydraulic pump in any way in regards to the transmission? On a Kubota with GST what other parts use the hydraulic pump? The steering? If the hydraulics are not being used to drive the tractor can I attach and run hydraulic motors without starving my transmission / tractor for fluid/pressure. Is the hydraulic fluid used as gear oil? If I am using the hydraulics to do something and the fluid gets hot, will it cause damage to the transmission even though it is gear driven?
I appreciate the input. I know there is a lot of differing opinions on the GST transmission in relationship to the HST. I'm really not to interested in those. I'm more into understanding the GST transmission.
