Hydraulics are a beautiful thing!!

Curious how he made it all work, and what he's using to drive the wheels, chains and sprockets? Doesn't sounds like hydraulics motors at each wheel, but could be.

has to be hydraulic motors at each wheel. Kind of reminds me of a bike I had when I was a kid, remember those trail bicicles with the frame that was in 2 parts with a spring in the center? they didn't work too well but that thing is amazing. hey Ron, you still have that girls number?

Hyd motors at each wheel.You can control them with a valve body for each wheel.He has a good pump to keep up with all that oil moving.

I believe that was driven by chains. That's actually a surprisingly old video now.
