Is automatic transmission better than hydrostatic?

A hydrostatic transmission works like an automatic transmission, but uses fluid rather than belts to transfer power from the engine to the wheels. This transmission offers a smoother ride, requires less maintenance and lasts longer.

How does a Cub Cadet hydrostatic transmission work?

Hydrostatic drive transmissions are filled with fluid and require the operation of a gear driven pump to move the fluid which then in turn drives the wheels. These systems should normally be in the engaged or operation mode when the mower is to be driven.

Why won’t my Cub Cadet go forward or reverse?

A Cub Cadet lawn mower won’t move or go forward when the transmission bypass lever is engaged; the pump belt is loose, worn or broke; the tensioner pulley is worn; the spring is stretched or missing; the hydraulic oil is hot, old, or at an insufficient level; or air is trapped in the hydraulic system.

Can you push a hydrostatic mower?

You can’t push hydrostatic mowers without disengaging the transmission. Fluid is pumped to the wheels to turn them, so if the motor is off the pump is too and the wheels won’t turn. If you push the mower when it’s off, the fluid already at the wheels will flow back into the pump and damage it.
