Thanks for the write up..   I thought about getting one before I got my
e12m.  I couldn't convince the wife that the price was worth it.

I have met Dave Reuter and go back and forth by email quite a bit.  I
noticed the bounce the same day it bounced on the group....   I been
kicking around the idea of giving him a call to see what's up with his
email.

   1) Are you happy to did it? Would you do it again knowing the
   limits?

I'm certainly happier with the Electric Ox than I was with my
Elec-trak.  It's kind of hard to justify the price of the Electric Ox,
though.

   2) What is the turning radius? Turning is the one area I am always
unhappy 
   with.

I measured it.  It is roughly 19" from the edge of the back wheel to the
center of the turning circle.  The tractor is 36" wide, so the center
between the back wheels goes in a circle about 37" in radius.  The
nearest edge of the mowing deck is 56" from the center of the circle.
None of these numbers is terribly precise.

It is pretty reasonable to make 3-point turns if you want to mow back
and forth stripes.  It's much easier than the Elec-trak because of the
ease of going between forward and reverse.

   3) Could their blades be used on the Electrak?

Presumably.  You would probably have to alter the blades to fit the
Elec-trak hubs.

P.S. Does anybody know David Reuter?  He has been a frequent
contributor, but now his email is bouncing.
