Re: How long have CUT\'s had hydro\'s
tc35dforme,
I don't know how either transmission style can be considered safer....but I may soon be corrected !!!
Not to start a huge discussion or to correct you, just to try and answer the question. I think the most often pointed out safety factor of a HST is that if the operator leaves the platform (either from his own action or that of a bump or tree limb), the tractor motion stops thus lessening the possibility of getting run over by your own machine. The addition of cruise control on HSTs negates this to some degree, but it is still a viable safety factor.
