Hydrostatic transmission question

Thanks Dan. As a former city boy turned country boy I'm a bit short in the "tractor common sense " department. Like to think I'm reasonably well solid in other aspects of life. LOL.

Please dont take offense. I was not getting personal. I was expressing my frustration at a mindset that seems to permeate forums these days. We have people that cant tighten a fender bolt without a book and torque wrench

when im using mine i set rpm to 2500 and the pedal is ground speed use whatever ammount you need in speed with the pedal. it doesnt hurt anything at all all the engine is powering is the hydraulic pump.

so control speed with rpm and pedal down makes no difference.

low rpm creates more soot faster if you have a dpf but low rpm uses less fuel if you dont need all the power. so set rpm to match your needed use and pedal for speed

My last job had trucks with dpf and def etc. what a miserable time those gave us! I don't think my tractor has that. I hope it don't.

No you do not have an emissions tractor.

The throttle lever controls the engine's RPM, thus the top moving speed of selected speed range. HSD pedal controls tractor speed.
