How is that thing driven? Those 608D's were originally rear wheel drive. are the rear wheels chain or hydraulically driven?
I didn't Babblefish it, are there German readers who can tell us if it explains the drive mechanism?

Here's the translation. It says 'manual circuit' drive. I'm sure that's one of those translation mistakes for a technical term. Any idea what it might be?
