Abstract
The planetary wheel drive has proved to be of considerable advantage in powering hydrostatic agricultural vehicles. This type final drive combines the advantages of a highly effiient gear set and the design flexibility and operating characteristics inherent in the hydrostatic drive system, to provide a cost-effective substitute for the conventional mechanical drivetrain. In addition, the planetary wheel drive's compact modular design facilitates the ease of maintenance desirable for drive units operating in the farm equipment environment.
