Re: (ET) Snowthrower and weights

["Bob Murcek" <rmurcek geisinger edu>]

If any of ya are nervous about paralleling two different battery packs,
I'll bet you could come up with a way to run the blower on the batteries
in the weight box rather than off the tractor's batteries.

Yah, I'm taking a note from this and will be wiring all of my Hawkers
in 
series with the main pack via a cable and plug to the accessory port.

That should help out with the snow blowing capacity; blowing snow is
the 
only time I have ever run the pack down to dead (as in the blower would

not power up)
