I haven't run any real large machines with hydrostat drive but I've run a "newish" JD 6300 mowing hay with a 8-9' rotary hay cutter. Obviously, the tractor wasn't having to truly "pull" a heavy load, but the mower kept the engine loaded pretty heavy. Hydro works great for this. Very easy on the operator, smooth and an infinite source of gear ratios to a point. But if the tractor was mine I would really hate to slam a disc deep in the ground and pull it to death. Just don't see how that hydro unit will live. Although almost every dozer I've ever run was 100% hydro as well as maintainers. That's a good argument for how reliable they can be. But I'm just scared of them. I'll stick with gears meshing on my equipment.
