Uh...that's 1:24 overdrive. Depending on the HP and motor size, the torque

I'm trying to run a mower deck with a hydraulic motor. It spins @ 90 rpm
and I need to provide 2200 rpm. I was planning on #60 chain @ 4:1 from
motor to a jackshaft then single belt @ 6:1 to get the speed up. Will
this work or do I need to re-think? Thanks in advance!
