Re: (ET) More Questions:



Maybe it could be used as a winch, though I think the web belt would give
way given the sheer weight of the Elec-Trak (assuming you're trying to pull
the ET out of mud or something)

You could always get a car winch and mount it up front. Either tap the
batteries or replace the winch motor with a 36 volt one.

FWIW, my Craftsman tractor cannot tow the Elec-Trak, however the ET can
easily drag the Craftsman out of just about anything (including up an
incline hill choked with debris)

Anyone know the tow capacity of the ET's rear hitch?

As for bags, my elec-trak has them, and has not a trace of rust in the
battery box. Worth their weight.
