Re: (ET) [Fwd: [EVDL] The Case for the Electric Tractor] (fwd)
Agree with lots of what you say Pieter. I think though the ET size
'tractor' is a good place for electric. Most aren't used more than a few
hours a day (or even week). Most would be recharged at night (off-peak),
or hopefully by solar during the non-use days. The weight (up to point)
helps in a lawn tractor, especially when pushing snow. No noise, no
exhaust smell - neighborhood friendly. I see people junk tractors after
only a few years - usually due to something simple, like a crud in the
carb or some simple part broken. You'd think a major manufacturer would
have a electric tractor on the market. The biggest problem - misusing
the battery pack could be prevented by electronics.
Guess I'm preaching to the choir ;-)
