An owner who has used eHydro since 2005 explains how it differs from a standard hydrostatic transmission, then demonstrates the adjustable response-rate dial at low, medium, and high settings while driving. Also covers cruise control and auto-throttle. Best for shoppers deciding whether eHydro is worth the roughly $1,500 upgrade cost.
An owner-operator sharing personal long-term experience with eHydro across multiple tractors, with no apparent dealership affiliation.
