Reduce the Chain transmission ratio will be a good idea, to remove some Load of the Hydros.

After i read your description, they may run actual borderline or maybe little over limits.

How can I cut 0 mph down any lower? Im thinking of doing it in favor of some movement. 

Ahh yes. 

Agreed. 

 

I see the logic.

At this point what's another 35 bucks. I figure if I can get it to move I can figure out what other problems I may have.

For the most part I do. Certain specific things I do have to buy. I try to do that as little as possible. Nice trailer. Did you make the trailer or making something out of it?

Looks like a trailer made out of a garden ornament.

It‘s made out of an collapsed Pavillion.

So cut the top speed way down in favor of acceleration?

Actually, you would be cutting top speed for more driving torque.

 

That sprocket change will about double the torque driving the screws.  Should help with the apparent power issue.

More power, more power (insert toolman grunt). That's what Im hoping. It wants to move but the drive units start to bypass so I loose all power. I'm also going to top off the fluid in them. That may help a bit too. 

[Tractorhead 8,717]

is there a way to disable the bypass ( maybe stronger springs or something like this..)

tooltime - Tim‘s     harr harr harr

 

edit 

btw have you a Documentation on the Drives?

I don't have any paperwork on them. I wish I did. The bypass would be internal. I would rather not tear into one unless absolutely necessary.

[Pullstart 60,500]

Find that bypass... stick some Big League Chew in it and fire it up!

The new sprockets are on there way. I hope they help. In the meantime I have to find something else to do.

Get started on the dozer?

I think it's time to get the GT14 and the Haban mower more acquainted.

Two more things I've always wanted.  Don't really need the haban anymore since I teamed the roadsides and mow them now but I would like a GT14.  But I also don't need it IF I fix my Power King!

 

Nope!  Rather have a dozer!

I'm putting it on to mow the banks of my pond and ditches. Plus I love those sycle bars. My grandfather mowed for the State for decades with  a Ford with one. But yes a dozer would be sweet indeed.

I had a very ugly wide and deep roadside cattail/mosquito raising pond that the town screwed up when they replaced the culverts.  I told them I'd fix it if they'd bring me 2-3 tandems of fill.  Looks wonderful and I no longer need the sickle bar mower. and I really don't have another area that calls for one.  I do have BCS and a couple Jari mowers if I do need a sickle bar mower.

In all honesty, I saw a failure coming but it wasn’t in the transmission!  The screws being so small, I wonder if the chain picked something up and instead of the chain breaking, it bent everything else.

 

I also like the digger... that’s sweet!

Be grateful you still have cattails. Downstate they are being crowded out by phragmites--yet another invasive imported illegally by a thoughtless gardener who thought they looked cute.

[DennisThornton 4,769]

Years back I saw one purple loosestrife and immediately killed it!  Haven't seen anymore around here.  Thought that was the only thing that could compete with cattails.  I do see something that looks like:

All around Plattsburgh and in route to the ferry.  Don't know if it is what you are talking about or not.  It rules where it grows with nothing else in it.
