The only problem I see with using hydraulic for power transmission is coasting. You have none.

I think the reason it sound like it's having problem climb the bumps/hill is because the driver has to control the gas and engage the hydraulic pump.

Thats wild. Hydro is out of my territory. Kinda like electrical systems. I like to see moving parts so i can see exactly whats happening. It took a hell of alot of work to build that thing.
I got a bit of work done on it today. I went to the junk yard and got shocks and foot pegs and more chain and some gears. I got beefier sprockets for the chain that goes from the jackshaft to the u joint so now ill be using all #41 chain. Also got the heim joints for the neck and got started on getting them on.

Got the frame pretty much together





For color im thinkin yellow / black somthing like these. I dont really like yellow on anything but these look pretty good. I may still go to somthing completely different. Im only thinking yellow because the deere trax stickers are yellow. I may go with a dark green with yellow pinstripes or somthing. Not deere green
