Lawn and garden tractors and ride-ons are much easier to drive if you have a hydrostatic transmission.
If you’ve driven an automatic car, you’ll understand.
Slow down, ease your foot off the throttle. Speed up, apply a little more pressure.
This makes it easier to manoeuvre along paths and around garden borders, no need to worry which gear you’re in. If you’re used to a gear change lever, don’t worry, you’ll soon find driving an automatic a piece of cake.
These three from Mountfield are best sellers and benefit from this company’s reliable and sturdy engineering.
