Hydrostatic transmission

The hydrostatic, foot-controlled transmission found on all Westwood tractors is smooth and responsive. It is as easy to operate as the controls on an automatic car.

One pedal controls forward speed. Press it further and your speed increases. Release it and you slow down. Take your foot off the pedal and the tractor comes to a complete stop. There is a separate reverse pedal which works in the same way.

On a Westwood, there are no gears or clutch pedals to worry about. The hydrostatic transmission is infinitely variable. This means that you have full control over the speed of the tractor at all times.
