Mini 6x6
So after 7 hours of driving we returned home with our new to us mini 6x6 (12x12 for now. There have been a number of upgrades done already by the previous owner, and after a little tinkering today I can tell younit may require some more. But it runs and drives ( rings just replaced in motor) and the drive train is new and upgraded. There was some issues turning but I suspect the tires are to blame. Here is a Video of my son maddox's first run.

What does the drive train consist of? Is there a tranny? Or just a differential that allows skid steering in forward only. Just curious. Wouldn't mind making one for my kids.
-
There is a twist throttle for gas, forward motion begins with sticks pushed forward. When you do this it pushes a belt tensioner up and makes the belts grip. Pulling back either side will brake that side. No trans, just a couple of pulleys in free spin engaged by physical contact.

Does it have some sort of brakes? I would think that on hard surfaces it would require differential braking to steer.:hmmmm2:
You mentioned that it wasn't steering good because of the tires, the other day I was in TSC and saw some tires that might be just what you need. They look to be about the same size, but they have the V tread like rawhides. I think they are for small walk behind tillers. They might be just what you need. :dontknow:
