Farmbot Express stalling x axis: Change to closed loop steppers

I’ve installed my extended Farmbot Express (4.5 x 2.7m) and its working but the x axis running along the wood of the garden bed is often stalling, getting stuck and missing steps.

I’ve got 2 spare NEMA 23 Closed Loop Steppers like this https://www.oyostepper.de/goods-587-Y-Serie-1-Achsen-CNC-Schrittmotor-Closed-Loop-Schrittmotor12-Nm-Nema-23-Motor-und-Schrittmotortreiber.html (except mine are 1.85Nm).

Can I connect these stand alone stepper drivers to the Farmduino Express board?
I can see how I can fit them on the gantry without causing much issue.

The huge extra torque and close loop system should resolve my issues.
