Re: pic: 2 speed V.3

I would concur that if the drivers can handle it, go for 13-14 fps. Our drivers rarely used all that speed, but they certainly could have. I've driven it at that speed and it is great for me.

The way I see it is greater speed = greater productivity. Just make sure you don't have to downshift to turn, or you may lose that productivity.

Anyway, you can always adjust the sprocket ratios in the end. I haven't found a 8T #35 (only in #25) but a 9T is available and you could always go slightly bigger on the wheel one (I don't know how close you are to the 4" diameter though).
