I have used stump grinders where the drive speed was varied by a gate valve which (I believe) controlled the hydraulic pressure to the drive system.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to talk with a Vermeer service tech, as there may be a way to mod it. Though, the drive system might not be capable of handling a "hop-up", and I'm certain that any tinkering would void your warranty.

I've always had Vermeer, great workers, but they are a bit slow moving, you should be able to adjust for faster forward or back, not sure about a 352 but I think so. Just look around while you're getting there, you'll still be finished before a Carlton.
