T2290 Transaxle Comparison

[PAMedic]

Does anyone know what the Tuff Torq equivalent transaxle is to the Hydro Gear on the T2290. I'm trying to get an idea as to whether this trans is heavier duty than the K46, 56 models on the JD tractors.

The hydro gear on the T2290 has the same side axles as Tuff torque K66. But from what I read has a far easier serviceability and might have a slightly larger pump motor at 16cc instead of 10cc in the TT K66

I believe this is the hydrogear g730 with 1" axles, weighs about 45 lbs, torque rating 250lbs, and is serviceable. Seems like a vast improvement over a K46 or 5X series. A K66 might have the edge over the HG unit though, but that gets into a big price adder I suspect.
