Looking hydraulic transaxles options...

I am in the process of laying out a home built loader. I am looking for options for hydraulic driven transaxles. The Case 446 transaxles fits the bill, but seem a little pricey and hard to find.
Are there any other GT's that use similar axles?

Thanks,
Rick

I'd hold out for a Case transaxle. You already know you're going to have the pump/etc to drive it and the shape of the transaxle makes it much easier to work with. The Eaton 11 types are good transaxles but they're bulky, will require either a driveshaft or belt, will require separate filter/hydraulic lines and will just complicate your build.
