Hydros on Cub Cadets have been in service since 1966. Some in almost constant use, others left outdoors for decades, only to be pressed back into service again by we enthusiasts. Rarely do we come across an actual hydro failure.
I'd say the IH hydrostatic drive has more than earned its stripes.
To the OP, I prefer hydros for most every job, but if I need some good old slow speed grunt, I dust off my Sears Suburban.
