Yep, I think a oil cooler is needed. But You are on the right track. I will only use hyd. motors for the drive mechanism. No gearing, no automatic transmission stuff. Just hydraulics. And I think I would use two pull start engines maybe 10 HP each, that way I wont need a alternator and wiring and the other stuff. For light I could just use a large marine battery and charge it up when I want to use it in the dark. I would have a rear 3 pt. and I would put a roll bar on it and try to balance it and have an emergency hyd. shutoff in case it got out of control. HHHmmmmm looks like this could work. Maybe I could get free hyd. parts from a place and only have to pay for the steel and engines. I think the most expensive part of the whole thing would be the hydraulic components.
