It's also the simplest. No field at all, PM motor, 3 speeds, etc.Technically the E8 and 10 are the uber-simplest (one speed, always on,etc) but that's not fair.

My only question is would tossing it from fwd to reverse would stillcause an arc on the push-pull contactors. Also could that eventuallydamage the PM field magnet?

I believe the E-12S has the most forgiving electronics and is the most reliable. It isn't the fastest, or the most efficient, but it's the only tractor that you can put in reverse when going full forward that won't burn something up.
