Hydraulic wheel motors are only good for about 200 rpm. I would need a very large sprocket. The little ones on the reels turn faster, but I don't know if the torque is there.

Another option is to remove the golf car rear end and mount the wheel motors to the rear. I think I would find some larger diameter wheels and tires to increase the top speed. The specs for the jacobsen mower said 6.6 mph top speed. This is on 18" tires.

Best option may be to find a faster spinning motor.
