Here is a follow up question. Is there a bypass switch? I did some internet searching but it was for tractors.
Pushing/towing a dead Brutus HD PTO
My Brutus won't start and I need to tow it 600 feet to pavement. One dealer said don't do it because it is hydrostatic . Can I put this in Neutral and push it/tow it this short distance?

There's no bypass valve on the pump like some tractors have. It's OK to tow with the transmission in neutral, it won't do any damage.
I agree -- should be OK to do with transmission in Neutral.

Towing a BRUTUS
Towing this vehicle is not recommended. Always transport the vehicle on a trailer or flatbed
with all four wheels off the ground. See page 118.
If towing a disabled vehicle is unavoidable, place the disabled vehicle’s transmission in
neutral. Tow the shortest distance possible. Do not operate faster than 10 MPH (16 km/h).
Thanks a lot! Now I need to figure how to get the hydraulic arm from the down position to the up position so I can get it up a small hill. Got no power.
