Drill fan

I am changing a box drill to an Accord drill on a seed drill and am coming up against a problem with fan drive.
I am short on hydraulic capacity to drive the accord hyd fan , are there others which need less oil or does anybody know of the vaderstad type lower link mounted fan system, would that work?
TIA

Anyone tried a little engine driving the fan?

A bit like below did this for a scottish customer 15 years ago worked well but sounded like an aircraft!!!!!

I think quite a few people used to put engines on Simba drills to power the fan as they were so heavy and hard to pull...........
