Default Re: Great Dane excavating co.

Would like to add to the 2-motors-1-axle discussion, but I cannot find the reference. It was posted by one of our European friends (I think on this forum) explaining that if the two motors are on opposite ends of the same axle, they should be wired in series, and when under load, the motors will create an "electrical differential" by splitting the power proportionally, based on individual motor load and RPM. If using multiple axles with 2 motors each, series wiring on each axle and parallel wiring from axle to axle.

Perhaps someone else read this or the author of the post may see this, so we can find the original discussion.
