Abstract
A hydrostatic transmission having a hydraulic pump that is fluidly connected to a hydraulic motor. The transmission also has a pressure control valve that has first and second stages and is fluidly connected to the hydraulic pump. By utilizing the pressure control valve when the first stage of the pressure control is at a minimum pressure the second stage determines the minimum charge pressure setting for the hydrostatic transmission.
