Idea for The easiest 4x4+4WD

you could build something like this

I got 4 of these laying around but only two identical (same gearing).


But im planning on makin a tracked autonomys robot mower of those two identical.

You could use 1 of your unmatched ones to feed into a geared transaxle and have a multi range geared hydro system

Great idea

Interesting

Case lawn tractors use hydraulic drive on their diffs, no pulleys or belts, just hoses. You could articulate one with no problems. You just need a pump to supply hydraulics for the drive motors and steering. Case mowers are out there, and can be found cheaper than Cub Cadets. I have several donors but no time or shop space to build one.

This is what i ment, But with two trannys and with the pivot point exactly on the center of the pulleys. Meaning you dont have to use more pulleys and stuff.

or more like this.

Why not grab two zero turn transissions, mount em on the front and, IT WOULD TURN LIKE A TANK!!!

Personally, I'd go with a 4 wheel steer setup, like the old full size Case 4wd tractors.

Need two RWS diffs to do it.


They could crab steer when you needed to

I would never get four hydros of the same gearing it just cost to much. Even hydraulic.
But maybe with two transaxles. Time will show:)
