(ET) wheel weights

[Anton and Federica <krustyacres earthlink net>]

actually, I was joking about putting the batteries inside the wheel, 
which would mean you would have to back up to untwist the cables, or use 
some kind of electrical contact swivel that I made up in my head.
However, there is a commercially available big size electric tractor 
that has an extra battery pack option for range and weight. Someone 
clever could work up a rear hitch battery holder or something else that 
I am not thinking of just now.
