  • Patent number: 6305486
    Abstract: A hydrostatic drive for a utility vehicle includes a prime mover (engine) which drives a variable rate hydrostatic pump. In a two-wheel drive system, the hydraulic fluid flow from the pump is split evenly and directed to the rear wheel motors. This flow turns the rear wheel motors and then exits the wheel motors where it is directed back to the pump. In a four-wheel drive system the flow from the pump is split evenly between the front wheel motors. The flow exiting the front motors is directed to the rear wheel motors on the opposite sides of the vehicles. This flow turns the rear motors and then is directed back to the pump. Direction and speed of the vehicle is regulated by an operator-controlled actuator which controls the direction and displacement of the hydrostatic pump. A neutral valve is interconnected between the pump and the motors.
