Take two hydro transaxles, remove the axle and tube from the left side of one, remove the axle and tube from the right side of the other. Make cover plates for the axle tubes that were removed. Mount the two transaxles side by side, butted together at the new cover plates.
Using a triangular track system, each hydro would be your drive sprocket for that side. Your right and left control sticks would control only it's own hydro, thus having one track going forward while the orther is going back would be no problem.
Engine could be mounted forward with a shaft going back, then a pulley/belt off that shaft to drive each individual hydro input.

This idea has been going thru my head for awhile now. only way to do it without being real wide is to machine a new case and some custom parts to run twin ring gears in a single case as close as possible.
If only I had time!
