I would like to make a vehicle that looks like the attached - an atv type with either 8 wheels or tracks, leaning towards wheels. Flat on the top so that it can haul a variety of goods but much bigger than this, weighing about 6,000 pounds with a front loading bucket, back hoe etc. It doesn't need to be fast - top speed of 15 mph is more than adequate - but it needs to be able to crawl with a heavy load on top or pulling a rototiller, etc The wheels will be 24". Length of the vehicle will be about 10 feet.
Most vehicles this size only use 40 hp to move around, or even less. What kind/size of motors would be appropriate? I am willing to use gear reduction to get the low, low speed with adequate torque.
