OK, I saw this on another forum where we discuss the Kubota RTV (which has a HST transmission)
The poster is looking for a description on how HST engine braking works. I've got the concept down but having difficulty putting into words that make sense.
Here's the post. Can anyone provide me/us a good description?
It was asked, does the engine do the braking on the RTV coming to a stop. Or is it really the hydro-transmission. I know we all call it a engine brake. But, really, what will be the right answer to tell 'em folks who ask.
I explained to them how the " Jake" brake, or engine brake works on our Peterbuilts. Or compression release engine brakes. They still look at me with doubt. And the statement then comes in to the effect of, " ok, well how does it work on the hydro-transmisson. " Confused [*-)]
The questions has been asked from several local folks, and then, read it on another site .......
