Keep in mind that running the pump off the transmission output shaft means that you have to power that pump all the time and a pump big enough to power the deck or a chipper is going to pull a noticable amount of power. Running it off the front pto will allow you to only power that pump when you need it.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. Here are some of my thoughts based on your responses-

Running hydraulic wheel motors gives 2 major advantages, first it gives the option of on demand diff lock which in my opinion and for my applications is huge. It doubles your traction. If there is an improvement Cub could have made on the tractors it would have been diff lock. Second it frees up a huge amount of space for the new hydraulic components. Oh yeah, also I wont have to worry about braking axles.

Yes, I do know about hydraulics and that is one of the reasons for this project. Moreover I have 2 good friends who are hydraulic application engineers, this type of stuff is their job.

Price is a factor but time is not. I have the time to wait for a good deal on the components I need. I know it's still going to cost me a chunk of money but the end result will be my Ultimate Cub.

If I remember correctly the outputs currently on the tractor are somewhere around 700-800 psi and flow is probably pretty low. Just enough to tilt a blade or lift an implement. It would never run a motor driving an implement.

If I were to use a cheap gear pump I would consider using the diff as a reservoir but I intend to use a piston pump so I'm not willing to take the chance with contamination.

Using another type of tractor is not an option. I only own Cubs.

I hope to find a Kubota D1105 to wedge in. That would give me 32 hp of turbocharged diesel power The Diesel pullers put these in the 82 frames with stock sheet metal so it should fit in the 2072 also.

Keep the feedback coming, I'd much rather have a reality check now than later

Sounds interesting, just my but for a project like this I think finding a roller would be a better option.

That's a great idea! I was just thinking about that. If I do go with wheel motors I really don't need an engine or transmission. Sounds like i need another tractor... Do "super rollers" show up often?

They do on occasion, not sure about your area. You could post a wanted ad here on the forum.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
