Do ANY Snowblower Brands besides HONDA Offer Hydrostatic Transmissions? Original Message Nov 25, 2011 9:18 pm
In the U.S., in 2012 I have NOT Seen any Brands of TWO STAGE Snowblowers that advertise a Hydrostatic Transmission. In The U.S. has that changed at all ? I also have yet to see any brands that supply the diameter of the Friction Disc, or the Diameter of the Drive Plate, as well as the width of the rubber 'tire' that is the part of the Friction Wheel that makes contact with the Drive Plate to produce the friction grip needed to turn the tracks or the tires. The size of the tires, the number of tires and the Horsepower and Torque of the engine become meaningless if these Friction Wheels and Drive Plates don't transfer that power between the engine and the wheels or tracks. This is why I went to Honda, despite the extra cost. Is that still the same ? ?
