I don't think that's correct, as I stated in post #31 above. HST's seem to "rob", or utilize, about 1.5 HP more of the engine's HP than non-HST machines.
The exact same tractor as my HST in non-HST format has 1.5 more PTO HP than mine, & I've encountered that same 1.5 HP difference many times.
Yep, if the specs show both engine and PTO HP ratings, and a tractor is available with both gear and HST transmissions, the HST is alway a couple PTO HP lower. I'd estimate around 5-8 percent, n the average.
