I have both ,but which is better for us old snowcat owners ?
I am beginning to see where the gear drives are much easier to work on . To much special equipment is needed to repair Hydro drive units .New pumps for my Hydro drive run about $4000 a piece . OUCH !!!
The advantages are a hydro turns in its own length ,wheres a gear drive must make a circle . I know that the new cats are hydro drive systems . Was this done for ease of location of engine /drive parts ??
