   After lobbying many years to have a major corporation build a new 
innovative non-gasoline powered electric tractor without success, a group 
of us decided to take up the challenge and give it a try.  We have created 
Modern Electric Tractor Inc or METI.
 
  All of us are Elec-Trak "junkies" and believe there is a need to have a 
new machine on the market to replace the aging ones built in the early 
1970's.  We believe that a modest priced reliable electric machine has a 
place in today's world.
 
  Our prototype is currently under construction using a state of the art 
controller, reliable DC motor technology, increased lift capability, and 
proven transmission for optimum drive wheel torque.  It will be built in 
Ohio.
 
  We have two goals.  Manufacture a custom electric tractor of new design 
which will be capable of using existing implements and accessories and to 
offer control and design improvements to keep the old ones operational.  
This provides a unit that can operate on pennies a day instead of dollars 
per hour, be maintenance free, and provide a long service life.
 
  The Elec-Trak forum and website has provided us with inspiration to make 
this happen.
 
  We invite you to our website which is still under construction to keep 
track of our progress and watch us grow!
