Pulling with a hydro

Hey what can i do to get the most out of a hydro for pulling. Seen a guy pull for exhibition with a hydro with a 4 cylinder car motor and he took it down to the end before he burned out the drive belt so i know they can take it. I thought there could be a way to open them up so they would maintain steady pressure from the pump? Any experience with tweaking the hydro would be grateful Thanks!

Jan, the hydro will work if you can keep the hydro at full speed. Anytime you slow the hydro down you take torque away from the tires. For pulling you need full power and torque to the wheels. I have been pulling for 10 years and have yet to see a hydro competitive other than the big Legacy diesel or JD X5** diesel. But those are over 1300# and most pulls don't have a class that heavy.

      Hello glad I got on this site. I hope to upload a couple of photos of my Simplicity Broadmoor 
      Model 707 Tractor. I have replaced all the belts on it and installed a new ignition switch.
      Have a mower deck which was in poor shape , repaced a couple of bushings and welded the
      deck where there was some holes. The tractor and mower deck came from a friend and the 
      mower deck metal was getting pretty thin. Some new metal was put in it and we also undercoated the underside of the deck. This was done by my friend Greg Toulman.
      I have not put the mower deck on the tractor yet, waiting for Greg to come home and give me a hand. Can you please tell me if there is a manual for the mower deck and where I could get one.
      I would also like to get some moon wheel discs as well.
      I will try and down load some photos of the tractor when my wife shows me how to. 
      I really love driving this tractor and also how well it is made compare today's tractors, especially the flexible rear end and the rollers.
      Tell the next time 
      Paul

      I assume it's a bosche, correct
