Hydrostatic transmission provides unbeatable manoeuvrability and reliability. Transmission from the gearbox main shaft to the hydrostatic unit pump is by means of cylindrical gears in oil bath with helical teeth, and then transmission from the hydrostatic motor to the gearbox is via of cylindrical gears in oil bath.
The "auto-hold" automatic braking facility locks the machine in position at the grip limit even with the engine switched off, while a manual release mechanism protected by a safety lock prevents accidental triggering allowing forced manoeuvres to be carried out.
The ergonomic handlebar-mounted "EasyGrip" lever controls the working speeds precisely and guarantees maximum operating comfort, especially for those operations requiring frequent direction changes.
Lever operated steering clutches control the steering clutch-brake mechanisms on the wheels ensuring safe and efficient operation on steep slopes and providing maximum steering comfort, easy handling and perfect control of the machine.
