Affordable Hydrostatic pumps?
Valves that are designed to run wheel motors so they perform like a hydrostat (hold/brake in off, and variable speed), with just a regular hydraulic pump. (Maybe these already exist, I haven't been able to find any though)
ps. I would be more than happy to test any of these for you :thumbsup:
ditto J_J post. valves themselves would be just like a FEL joystick or levers. nothing special. it just like operating a hyd motor, that be mounted to run a PHD (post hole digger) on FEL, or a hyd motor mounted on a bush hog, that is side mounted. hydrostat wheel motor. just stating type of hyd motor it is and were/how it is being used. though different lever positions may be wanted. as in instead of lever returning back to center when released staying exactly were ya left it, till ya touched a button, to release the lever, to spring back to the center/off position.
on other hand. wheel motors / tire motors / wheel hub motors. and are hydraulic, with and without brakes, brakes based on air, based on electrical. and can achieve low RPM's high torque, and then high RPM's and lower torque. would be of interest to me. though honestly not sure if hydraulic wheel motors. be ideal, for what i am shooting for (see
SSTT thread of mine), it may be just the ticket, for some sort of "add-on" for current age, implements. out there... were a farmer could replace rim with a hyd wheel motor. add some tees some hoses and electronic valves. that can be tied back to the cab.
to above, if tractor has extra HP, but loosing traction in field, might as well use up the HP, via another hyd pump. and send that power out to some sort of hyd wheel motors that are on the implements.
