- A hydraulic transmission which varies the tractor’s forward or reverse speed within a gear range based on pressure applied to a lever or pedal. Also allows instant transition between forward and reverse direction without the use of a clutch.
- The hydrostatic transmission holds pre-set constant speeds even on hills and over uneven terrain. Clutching is totally eliminated!
- a variable-speed fluid drive transmission that does not require shifting.

Boulton Paul Heritage – International E8129655sm
An exhibit to enthrall transmission enthusiasts (sad people like me), this International was converted by Boulton Paul Aircraft to hydrostatic transmission and worked very successfully for many years. When Dowty took BPA over, they stopped development, which seems odd as they were themselves a major player in hydrostatic power systems. Proved too noisy on buses, though – but WMPTE 3531 could have been the first recipient!
