Abstract
The invention relates to a method for braking a vehicle, driven by means of a hydrostatic gearbox () and a hydrostatic drive. The hydrostatic gearbox () comprises at least one adjustable hydrostatic motor (). The vehicle driven by means of the hydrostatic gearbox () may be retarded by an operating brake. On recognition of a certain braking process, the hydraulic motor () is adjusted to a minimal pivot angle. On recognition of a termination of the certain braking process, the hydraulic motor () is adjusted to a pivot angle which matches the speed achieved after the braking process.
