| It might have been asked here before but I couldn't find it guys. How would you calculate the speed of a tractor if you know the transaxles gear ratios aswell as pulley size.trying to do some calculations for speed before I go spending lots of money on multiple pulley swaps. Thanks guys | |

| Most reliable way I have found is to go for it, either with a tailgater in a car or GPS. Head Forum Administrator ** Chat Moderator ** Facebook Page AdminATLTF Facebook Page ** Chatbox ** How To Upload Pictures

It would be easy peasy if you didnt have vari drive. kinda a guessing game with them. With a normal calculator you need -engine highest rpm (normal running) -highest transaxle gear ratio (example 8:1) -what pulleys obviously -what size rear tires. But the vari drive is basically a cvt clutch, one belt expands, one contracts. But in, if you put a pulley on the rear that was twice as small as stock, would it be twice as fast? | |

| The easiest way to do it is get the free speedometer app on your smart phone. If you have a smart phone lol. | |

| I do have a smartphone. I'm not trying to determine the speed of my varidrive tractor, guess the cats kinda out of the bag I picked up another tractor from my towns dump for free because the deck had rusted out on it. It's a craftsman with a 20hp command vtwin with a 6 speed rear end:D guy even left half a tank of good gas in it for me lol | |

| How fast do you want to go? I have a six speed spicer, 13.5 hp briggs with the pulley sizes of 6 inches to 5 1/2 inches, and with 20 inch rear tires it goes 15-20.... Well 17 wide open(not governed) but it was still accelerating I just didn't wana blow it up haha so for a racer? Maybe 30-40mph ? I'd say a 8 inch on front and maybe a 3 inch on back. Seems like itd be pretty damn quick with that, specially with 20s on the bwck | |
