What Is the Difference Between Brush Drive and Traction Drive Floor Scrubbers?

Brush drive means there is no self-propelled.  The action of the brush head turning lowers friction and sort of pulls the machine forward as it operates.  Traction drive is an extra motor, transaxle motor, that actually powers the driving of the machine.  Usually adds several hundred dollars to the cost of the machine.  If you have any ramps or long distances to transport the machine, you really need transport drive.
