Well OK, not really a hydraulic drive, but a hydraulic clutch in a drive.
The recent (and occasionally recurring) talk about diesels reminded me that Yanmar is selling their own drive. I don't know anything about them other than the little I've read, but the thing that caught my eye was a recent article about them being a "hydraulic drive". What's that? Now this sounds interesting! Then when you dig further you realize it's just a hydraulic clutch.
Interesting none the less. There's a second video to the right about the drive showing a vintage Bertie running them as well.
