How Does Husqvarna Hydrostatic Transmission Work

Hydrostatic transmissions use oil, under pressure, to provide movement for the tractor. The fluid is pressurized with a pump inside the transmission. If any air is in the fluid, the pump will try to pressurize air. … Also, if you experience loss of drive, or slower response, then the transmission should be purged first.
