2 Tuff Torq K46's mated together

I remember combines with their rear wheel steering took a little "getting used to" in order to drive straight. Is that true with the Toro type mowers?
I guess I got used to rear wheel steering pretty quick, no problem driving straight. They do turn very sharp:

Got my first one in 2003, a 1990 model 322D:

Personally I would be really happy if the K46 had a locker differential like so many tractors and off road vehicles.... One wheel spinning and one not requires a lot of body English to get traction some times....Maybe on next rebuild I will just weld the spider gears....

Be hard turning like a atv, just have to turn hard and give it alot of throttle.

I've had similar thoughts about lawn tractor hydrostatic transaxles.

Another thing to keep in mind is you're not really limited to the rpm or axle weight loading limits of the transaxle if you just chain drive your axle shaft to another, probably larger and better supported axleshaft underneath and can include some gear ratio in the sprockets' tooth counts.
