What karait has claimed is total rubbish Linde Hydrostatic drive up till the mid 90's was a semi hydrostatic truck working through a range of cogs and gears. In the Mid 90'S Linde worked with Eaton to develop a swash plate system like other companies like rexroth use and Junghienrich and Toyota now uses. These systems are identical in how they operate. Toyota through Cassab have always had a hydrostatic truck so to put this into a Toyota is quite normal.


The point about the car is very true and may be if Citroen and Peugeot improved there warranty to five years as there should be no difference and improve their service network they could get a better price.


Also many companies do use the same trucks Mits cat, Hyster Yale Hamech Clark it will come down to the service company on the premium matter
