I've given some thought to vibration.
Once I settle on a design I will decide if I'm going to use dampening mounts.
In theory if I use two three speed trans for an articulator, with a chain drive transfer case, that's about 20 hp an axle, not really but close enough. Plus I intend to add hyd. to tractor so that's another 10 hp.
I know the math doesn't add up but like I said it's what I've got and if I can find a clutch setup that works for my application, that is an articulating tractor I should be ok. I think.
If I can't find a suitable clutch for articulation than I will have to go 2wd. I don't plan I using it for competition. Probably going to use some kind of double disk set up. just not sure yet.

HP doesn't divide between the axles. Nor will you "lose" 10 hp driving a hydraulic pump.
Clutch set ups don't care it the machine is articulated or not.
