Put it up on blocks and tell us how much current it draws.


We're using the AndyMark 8" pneumatic wheels

It's a 6 wheel drive. The wheels are 12.5" apart.

The center wheels are dropped 1/8".

Not sure about the ratio but it's the 2.06 spread for the 3 CIM WCD from West Coast Products. With an 11 pinion input.

It's pulling 10 amps on the blocks, but if you reverse directions it goes over 50

Also, when it drops out the voltage drops under 9.
