So I was reading through the postings and recently saw mention of Ingersol having a tractor - not being familiar with them, this intrigued me...
So having a closer look at their site.
http://www.ingersolltractors.com/gardentractors.htm
I recognize the older names... But never knew these units are hydraulically driven ... It just so happens Ive had the pleasure of helping someone convert a 6 wheel swamp buggy (with those balloon tires) from a snowmobile type drive train to a 250 twin motorcycle engine which drove a hydraulic pump and hydraulic motor for buggy.
The contraption worked ok - but it kinda removed the "flexibility" that the snowmobile engin/tranny combo provided and replaced it with the feel of a .... ummm... a tractor. While the engine was setup to be shifted very nicely.. You can just imagine operation as clunky with the hydraulics coupled to it...
Im sure their are others out there who have done this to some Frankenstein project of theirs?
Or perhaps have one of the Ingersol (or older tractors) tractors... (i know Id Like to have one ). How are they ? I would think it would pull like a friggen mule.
Anybody out there know what one of these runs new ? or used ?
