Tehehehe yes those numbers are correct and legal
But, why? I'm having a very hard time imagining the utility of having that many motors on your climber. The drive is kind of overkill, too, but I can at least imagine situations in which it would make sense.

I mean, PTOs are great and all, but are they really necessary here (especially with *additional* 775s)?
