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  ;-)
