Hydrostatic Transmission



The greatest advantage of the hydrostatic transmission is the ability to produce an infinite range of vehicle speed without the need to shift gears.

Axles



Durable planetary axles with fulltime 4wheel drive are features on the TH255 providing a 40 degree steering angle for outstanding maneuverability.

Front Axle



In the front axle a limited slip differential is fitted as standard. No interaciton is needed from the operator enabling him to concentrate on the job at hand.
