Disabling hydraulics for towing

[lanil4]

I have a 2003 B7800 HST that I bought new and haven't put a nickel into it repair wise. How do I disable the HST if I have to tow it. Thanks

Thanks for the replies.

Does it have a neutral?

Does it have a neutral?

Yes, so does my zero turn but I still have to release two valves

Your zero turn has 2 valves because it has hydraulic drive motors.
The tractor just has a standard differential and drive axle, so putting it in neural disconnects it from the HST unit.

So put it in neutral and tow it around!

OK how about a BX, they have no neutral so to speak

Yea in that case, get something to pick it up to move it!

I don't know about older models, but the BX xx70s have an 'N' between the high and low ranges. I haven't towed mine, but I do sometimes push it out of the garage to keep the fumes outside before starting, and 'N' allows me to do that. Am I screwing something up?

The bx25 has neutral.
I would think it is like a car. You can push it out of the garage or down a driveway without a problem but hauling it down the street would be an issue.
You will need a trailer or wheel dollies.
