Bullshit again dude.....my engine is run at a constant speed, as power
erequirements change the flow out of the hydrostatic unit is changed
automatically , similar to a auto tranny would use that to shift gear
ranges, and only when I get it really loaded down does my engine rpm
change. You can even atch the governor linkage it does not
move.,..........so now I guess you will tell me its out of
adjustment.........Perhpas on a cheap assed Murray or Stanely that may
be how they woprk but the Cub Cadets and JD and Kubotas certainly
don;t

That is what a governor does, it maintains the speed of the engine
constant. When there is a heavy load, the constant speed is putting out
more power so the engine needs more power. That works the same with a
standard transmission or a hydrostatic. No difference.

I agree the governor holds the engine at a preset speed, and prevents
over reving, but on the hydro I have that motors governor does not
fluctuate and the hydro will vary in ouotput all due to its load
governed by a pressures senseing valve in the tranny, that
automatically adjust hydraulic flow independant of engine
speed..........do your homework!
