I don't like hydrostatic drives, but when they work they're great. You can run the engine at any desired speed and adjust your wheel speed independently. I've seen lots of problems with attachments and engine speed versus wheel speed. Put a 6 foot PTO powered rototiller on a tractor, or a PTO powered snowblower, and it becomes an issue. Many tractors don't have a low enough gear, especially when the attachment needs horsepower. Take an attachment that needs 40 horsepower, and put it on a tractor that only develops 40 horse at full throttle - it may, and probably will, travel too fast. So, a hydrostatic drive is one good answer, also a tractor with a wide range of gears also works.
As far as the IH 444, the guy had lot of trouble with it, and finally got rid of it. It had a drive-coupler, splined, that hooked to the hydrostatic drive. The coupler kept on stripping it's splines, and finally ruined the shafts too.
Personally, I don't like hydrostats - because service parts are limited - it seems with most, once they're bad they must be replaced. But, I have not had a lot of experience with them on large machines.
