    Dave---yes, you could do that. If you were going to make one based on the eastwood design, I would recomend using mild steel plate construction instead of aluminum. You could direct drive off a hydraulic motor to one of the fixed position rollers, or put a sprocket on the hyd. motor with a slide base for chain tensioning, and have the roller chain wrap around 3 sprockets instead of the two.
