Lockheed - Squad Mission Support System |
The Land Tamer utilizes our hydraulic/gear drive system which requires virtually no regular maintenance or adjustment. We use a closed loop variable flow tandem pump system. Each individual pump of the hydraulic tandem pump setup drives each hydraulic drive motor that delivers power to either the left or right side set of wheels.
All wheels are connected a high quality sealed gearbox located inside the hull of the vehicle, which are coupled to a drive shaft connecting all wheel axles of each side and driven by one heavy duty hydraulic drive motor for each set of wheels.
This is a much more efficient means of delivering power to the wheels when compared to hydraulic vehicles which have a hydraulic motor for each wheel. The Land Tamer’s drive system components are much better protected from the elements such as water, mud, dust, rocks, etc. that could damage exposed hydraulic motor seals as with other machines.
The Land Tamer maintenance requirements are a fraction of the maintenance needed for other recreational type amphibious vehicles that have drive chains. Absolutely no drive chains to adjust as with some other recreational type light duty amphibious vehicles, which require many hours of maintenance and have a short vehicle life.
With the Land Tamer you only have to check your oil, filters and grease your bearings and you are off and running saving countless hours of maintenance time. This means money saved over the life of the vehicle and should be factored into the total investment in the Land Tamer.
