HST is smooth and efficient, it also allows for easier operations because most equipment is not just drive only. There are several things going on.
Those saying HST is problematic or cause power loss are living back in the 60s.
Take for example the Komatsu D71-24...this is an HST off a 271 hp motor. Dozers are notorious for extreme hard work at slow crawl speeds.
To many negative uneducated opinions here on the HST subject.
In my opinion...HST is not offered on alot of bigger machines because of the initial cost.
