Can you post the hyd motor specs? displacement, rpm, GPM's ?

Have you considered the fact that a fully functional mower deck, one two or three bladed, will take just about all of the HP that the engine has.

A lot of single bladed lawn mowers have up to 6.5 HP available. .

totally, it will need a seperate engine for sure, 5.5 hp is enough for propulsion and operation of a few select hydraulic rams, nothing more :thumbsup:
But then this is a micro tractor and I had no intention of making the scale too big, the sharp eyed amongst you would of spied the lister lt1 diesel in the background (9hp) of some of the pics, my original plan was to use this engine, but it was just too big and heavy for what i was looking for. The other complication would have been Getting power to the mower deck via a PTO or even hydraulics, in my mind its far easier to use two 6 hp engines than one 12hp. Ill post a link to the parker specs for my hydraulic motor, is there anything in particular you are looking for?

How much of a restriction do you think the 1/4" pipe is to the motor? the spool is all 3/8 stuff, so it will never flow mmore than 3/8 worth of oil, just thinking i might get a bit more speed out of her if i increase the pipe to the motor to 3/8? because you can rev the engine hard and the drive speed stays the same, i think the flow is being restricted

Here are some high quality pictures of it with the seat on, this is essentially finished now bar the footplates.

That is hilarious. I love it. Looks quite rugged too - nice work!

Yes nice work. If you come back home and notice your garage has been broken into and that someone's out in your lawn on that tractor. It's me. I just took it for a Joy ride. :laughing:

I promise after I get done Joy riding your new tractor I'll put it back and fix the door.
