Hydrostatic drive tractors give an infinitly variable speed, no shifting, forward/reverse with a lever. Great for anything that needs a very slow creeper speed too.
Bigger tractors with hydro were available too, but they didn't hold up in heavy tillage use, like plowing. They tended to overheat and self destruct. Very expensive to fix when they broke. In lighter duty they hold up though, I have a 36 year old Cub Cadet Hydrostatic that still works great. Skid-steer loaders are a perfect application of hydrostatics.
