My Case trencher/tractor project is hyd driven, it has it's advantages and disadvantages. I would say it's like having a lawn tractor with the hydrostatic drive only a little slower.
Hydraulic drive for PK
Is it possible? I have been reading a lot about FEL while I am waiting for spring and my own FEL project. Has anyone made a hydraulic drive PK? Could the clutch, front transmission and coupler be removed and replaced by a hydraulic pump in place of the clutch and then a hydraulic motor attached to the rear transmission? The extra capcaity of the FEL system would aid in this design but might need some extra cooling. Ideally a foot peddle similar to those used on hydrostatic drive tractors in place of the clutch would make a FEL tractor much more user friendly. What do you think?

Here's my build https://www.mytractorforum.com/119-home-made-tractors-implements-accessories/
I'm just using the original set up, it's basically just a rod with a cable attached on the end that I move forward or back and farther it goes in either direction the faster. The other end of the cable goes to the drive pump and it has a arm on the side that the cable attaches to and it moves the arm up and down for the forward and reverse.
I could probably get you some pictures if you wanted of the drive pump and control rod.
