>From Lee:

If that was me - - I said that I had pulled 500 or 600 pounds (a barrel of
water or 1/3 rick of green oak firewood) up a pretty steep hill (12
degrees). This is in 2nd gear (with my E-15). I seldom let the needle get
into the yellow, let alone the red, so I've never had any trouble with
over-heating.  I have no idea what the amps are.

I appreciate the note about the tractor pull.  I've often wondered what the
Electrac would do in one of those.
