(ET) Re: ET reliability

Hm. I thought one of the E12 series had a PM motor. Must be thinking of the E10 then.

field weakening but it does have a field. Also I didn't think it's motor

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 still
cause an arc on the push-pull contactors. Also could that eventually
damage 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.
