Re: (ET) Reliable, heavy-duty electric tractor?

[Jim Coate <jbc coate org>]

That is a reference to a SARE-funded project to convert a "G" tractor to 
electric... I interviewed the farmer involved over the summer and will 
post the article later this week (just as soon as I find the file!).

Hint: the neatest part was strolling along next to the guy as he was 
weeding the beans, and being able to talk at normal levels with the 
tractor running :-)
