Smooth driving, optimum working with the front loader and quick change of driving direction: these features are making small tractors with hydrostatic transmission increasingly popular. The tractors are particularly popular with smaller farms or in the hobby sector, as they score points for their high level of driving comfort. But they are also particularly popular as tractors for yard work, as they are particularly suitable for work with many changes of direction or for tasks with the front loader. But which compact tractors with hydrostat are among the top 5? We'll tell you.
Antonio Carraro
Compact, maneuverable and versatile - these three words probably best describe the Tony 8900 TR from Antonio Carraro. The 74 hp tractor comes on four equally sized wheels and has an integral swing frame, making driving on slopes or difficult ground child's play. The infinitely variable hydrostatic transmission has 4 electronically controlled speed ranges with 3 acceleration modes per speed range. Thanks to the reversible operator's platform, work can also be carried out in reverse gear with maximum efficiency and driving comfort.

Whether lawn mowing, transport work or winter service - the LX-401 from Kubota is a true all-rounder. With its modern 4-cylinder diesel engine, the compact tractor not only impresses with its powerful 40 hp, but also complies with EU standard V. Its hydrostatic three-gear transmission impresses with precise power transmission and a particularly low noise level. Thanks to the auto-throttle function, the driving speed and engine speed can also be synchronized with just one pedal.

Equipped with a high-torque 24.7 hp Kubota engine, the B2-261 HC guarantees high work performance. The three-stage hydrostatic transmission with cruise control ensures a high level of driving comfort and absolute user-friendliness. Thanks to the power steering and bi-speed steering system, the small tractor also scores with good maneuverability and ground-protecting work. Additional equipment highlights include the rear power lift with 970 kg lifting capacity and the standard intermediate axle PTO shaft with 2,500 rpm.
