Tires are mismatched because the rims I need are on backorder, car rims that fit dirtbike tires are extremely rare and hard to get... it will have all 4 knobby dirt bike tires once the parts are here.
The unlimited free dirtbike tires with 50% tread from behind the bike shop is a nice bonus.
That being said the thing isnt going highway speed and drives just fine despite the mismatch.
Skidsteers take a ton of torque to turn, if you got your electric setup geared to provide that torque you would hardly move. Besides need a 10hp minimum gas motor to run the vmac screw compressor. The 2 stage hydraulic pump is the easiest and cheapest way to make it perform at an acceptable level.
Going in a straight line on flat it's about 300 psi drive pressure
Turning on hardpack about 800 psi
Turning on a hill in soft dirt can max it out at 2400 psi and stall the hydraulic motors
In some situations when you need full torque to both motors open center dosent cut it so I have a valve that closes the center, not the best practice to run the relief valve like that, but it's only for limited situations.
The 2 stage pump is really nice how when you start turning it drops from 15gpm to 4 gpm so it turns at a sensible speed rather than doubling from having all the flow go thru one motor instead of 2
I drive it right into the box of my truck, lifting eyes are pretty low on the priority list, but will be added once everything else is in place.
Once the winch is running I will have a few pulleys that can route the line to the balance point up top so it can lift itself up if I ever wanted to
