Larry, I live in Massachusetts so I have to make it through some tough winters (though the last 4 or so have been almost non-existent). My dad has a 40V Ryobi electric snow blower, he owned multiple gas-powered Ariens snowblowers before this, and absolutely loves it. He says it blows all of the Ariens snowblowers he's had in the past out of the water. That said, it's a walk-behind unit and the part of his driveway that he clears is much shorter than what I'd be snowblowing. I'm definitely a jack-of-all-trades kind of guy (partly because I'd rather have one thing to maintain that does a lot of things somewhat well than many things to maintain that each does their own thing very well) and in this place the Elec-Trak shines.

William, thanks for mentioning the Jeep. The CJA2 is something I looked at in the past and it also shines in the jack-of-all-trades space, though there doesn't seem to be a huge number of people who still use Jeeps for heavier agricultural use. Additionally, the Jeep's body makes adding a front-end loader, which is a bit of a must-have for me, much more difficult than with the Elec-Trak.

As it stands, the easiest way to get up and running would be to buy a new Massey Ferguson compact or sub-compact tractor and go from there. The easiest way to get an electric tractor with a FEL would be the Soletrac. The harder, but less expensive, way to get a heavy-duty electric tractor with an FEL would be to buy a 20 year old MF, rip out the engine, and convert it to electric. The cheapest, both in terms of the initial purchase and the ongoing cost, would be to restore a classic Elec-Trak. If I wanted to save a lot of time, while still going the electric route (which I do), I could go with the updated Elec-Trak out of MO (it also has flat footrests which, although they might be slightly less comfortable, might be nice as it gives more room for implements to move under the tractor).

Wavetech, to your question about the website being safe, I'm not sure but I've never had a problem with it that I'm aware of. I've also emailed with the gentleman who makes them and he gave me a lot of useful information about the tractors.

Ken, I think I saw a video a while back of someone with a 2-stage Bercomac that was run by an E20 drive motor. I don't recall if he mentioned what his run time was but it looked great in terms of moving snow in the short video I saw. I remember the Electric OX from back in the day. I don't recall how heavy duty it was but it was an interesting design. I'd never say no to ZTR as long as I wasn't sacrificing anything major for it. 48V is definitely the direction I'd want to go in if I started from scratch as there would likely be many more options for components due to the golf cart industry.

Paul, Tim, Will, Ben, and David: You all make really good points about earth moving being more suited to much larger tractors. Being a guy that really only wants to maintain, and store, one tractor, I'll likely rent a more industrial-sized tractor when I need to move the big stuff. If I'm being smart that day, I'll probably just hire someone to do it for me (not looking to end up in the ER, or the ground, by working above my ability/knowledge level).

Ben, I think it was your restoration/build that I saw a while back on this thread. You did an amazing job with that and I'm sure we all appreciate you sharing pics of the whole process (I know I do). Your front-end loader looks like it's a blast to use.

Jim, thanks for the offer. I'm not in the market for an E12 right now, as I might go for the updated build in MO, but if that changes I'll definitely reach out.

Right now the two most likely candidates, given all of my criteria (size, multifunctional, weight, electric-powered, able to support a FEL, cost, and ease of use), are the updated Elec-Trak from the guy in MO and the CJA2 (which I'd convert to 48v electric).
Pros of the Elec-Trak vs. the Jeep:
E20 is significantly smaller (a little more than half the length and around 18 inches less in width) which makes it much more usable and easier to store.
E20 is half the weight so it won't compact the soil as much and I can always add wheel weights, implements, or a weight box in the back if I need more weight. Having that versatility is nice.
I have experience using Elec-Traks.
It was originally designed with a FEL in mind so it will likely be much easier to add one.
Great community of owners (had to throw a shout out to the group after all the great responses :) ).

Pros of Jeep over Elec-Trak:
Depending on modifications, street legal (though these things are death traps on the road so I'd rarely do this) and quick to get around 5+ acres when not using ground engaging implements.
Tons were made so spare parts, and reproduction parts, are plentiful.
CJA2 was marketed for ground engaging implements (this is a fantastic clip to watch if you want more info: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnU1vrsJkwE
I really like how old Jeeps look and have considered converting one to electric drive for some time now, so it would be a two birds with one stone kind of deal and I wouldn't have to store and maintain multiple vehicles.
The Jeep has four-wheel drive. This could be very useful in the conditions I'd likely encounter (also this would likely be useful with a FEL).

That's all I've got for now. Thanks again for all of the responses, it is much appreciated as I navigate the decision making process on this. If I missed anyone please accept my apologies as I tried to mention/respond to everyone that replied. I'll keep you guys updated as things develop on my end. If I end up doing a ground-up build or restoration, I'll send out updates/share pics of the progress.
Best,
Greg
