To the 20-HP engine made by Yanmar and conform to the EU emissions standards level 5 = Stage V, still without exhaust gas cleaning, is flanged a hydrostatic pump, that gives its power to the two axles via two hydraulic motors (1 per axle). Therefore, you will find a hose package going underneath from the rear to the front chassis and no cardan shaft.
