Looks like a cool build! For lubrication, build sheet metal enclosures/guards and just pour an inch or so of 30 weight or bar & chain oil in the bottom where the chain can pick it up. The guards would catch any thrown oil and "recycle" it. It would also keep things clean.

I saw the videos and immediately wanted one! I wonder if you could adapt a zero turn lawn mower to a screw drive, seems like if it could be done steering would be easier. Cool thread looking forward to hearing more.

Hehe, i know eh? the shear destructive power! For sure the zero turn would be WAY easier...problem is they are a bit expensive.

You can buy just the drive system at surplus center.

Yeah your right zero turns are expensive, if it floated I bet it would work well to haul ice fishing gear out on the lake.
