It also runs a direct side-by-side comparison between the gear-drive DT and the hydrostatic transmission, noting stability differences with R1 versus R4 tires. Best for buyers trying to understand practical loader limits before purchasing.

At 2,262.5 pounds the DT model only got the pallet two inches off the ground, while the hydrostatic with R4 tires lifted the same weight 10.75 inches.
On the gear-drive DT the rear end felt a little light under heavy load, but the hydrostatic version with R4 tires felt more secure.
Yes, switching from R1 tires on the DT to R4 tires on the hydrostatic model gave a more secure feel at the rear during lifting.
