Thanks guys, any pro's or con's to the sunstrand hydro's.

None that I have found. I have two had three. The one in the 7790 has been used hard.

I apologize in advance for changeing the subject in this thread. Maynard Did you get your new tractor in time for this weeks weather ?

[UCD 14]

Ron No, both tractors are still at the dealers. The Legacy XL waiting for the blower and the 7790 waiting for a bevel gear. The gear should be there today and the blower tomorrow if Simplicity doesn't mess up again. I was there yesterday afternoon and they were just finishing installing the cab and one of the tech's did an excellent job of converting the hydrostatic controls to hand control. If you did not know that it was adapted to hand control you could not tell. The tractor has foot controlled forward and reverse and forward only cruise control. It now has forward and reverse hand controls.

The only disadvantage to the Sunstrand that I have heard of, is that the Vickers supposedly has a more linear control on the tractor speed. I have two of the Sunstrand trannys. I can see absolutely no drawbacks to them. The more I hear about leakage problems on the Vickers, the more I am glad to have a Sunstrand. Plus, you can easily run a hydrolift directly from the charge pump on the Sunstrand. This was a factory option on the later model tractors.

Aren't Vickers a bit harder to find parts for?
