It has a hyd. motor, running a trans to the transfer case...It actually has 3 different pumps hanging off the motor...I got some better pix...I'll post them up
where the pics the Spec ?
right then heres a few pics of what l am going to biuld next, very simalar to Marks buggy but with a subaru engine instead, several reasons for the subaru engine, its much lower than the citroen that mark used this should give me much better visability, also the heavy parts such as the diff, crank are right on the bottom helping with the c of g , plus l have one always helps, but l need to hunt around for an auto gearbox for it, before anyone points it out l wont be using the soft wood chassis railsoak is some much stronger and the steering wheel is on the dam wrong side again l have to finish my V8 buggy first, so this is just at the planning/collecting stage, which is just as much part of the fun as biulding and usingcomments ?
Looks Brilliant to me Baloo! I didn't realize Mark had used a front wheel drive setup driving front and back instead of sides, until I saw your's laid out. It's a grand idea, the only downside I see is not being able to lock the diff in the subaru to garantee power to both front and rear. You should have a quite nice gear ratio with the front wheel drive setup being further reduced by the axles. Are you planning to be that long, or are you gonna shorten those shafts some? Do you already have the connection into the tranny made? How did you adapt the CV attachment to the U-joint?I think hydraulics would work fine. Speed limited as you said. Would be best to find a complete system so you know things would work together. A system off of a swather would work great. 50-100 HP, two motors, etc. Pulling a 10,000 lb swather it will go 0-16, and has quite a bit of power.What was that yellow thing SPEC? Trencher?
Cool Baloo,A Swather is a machine we use to harvest alfalfa and hay, It cuts, conditions(squishes the water out) and windrows the crop
