I started working on this set up before but at the time I didn稚 have much use for it. I recently have had a couple of jobs where I could have used more pulling power. Just a bit more torque would have made the difference. I know this set up will be controversial and could cause damage to wheel motors if (pushed too hard) but I知 willing to take that risk. If one is considering changing all four motors it wouldn稚 be much of a risk anyway. It will be nice to hear thoughts, comments and experiences of what flow, pump volume and pressure changes might take place. Wonder if it will help power or will the pump not have enough volume or the motor enough power to make a difference.
Four valve a few fittings and some hoses and it can be tried. In my case most of the time I would leave the PT in normal mode and in the few cases where I need that little more power I could switch the valves and use the torque mode. I have broken one wheel motor with the wheels reversed and going all out and then some to move a load of rock 3 times the weight of what I should have been moving. I still reverse the wheels at times but I am a little more careful.
Anyway comment and criticism welcome.
