hydrostatic isnt the issue, huge modern skidsteers are hydro. My kubota b8200 is hydro.

tufftorq hydros are weak. I ran across a forum post years ago from a cub cadet rep that said youd run out of traction before you blew up the axle on 2000 series tractors.

i took that to heart, this is version two, its pulled things you wouldnt believe.
