This is great…. I have love my e12m. Wanted a
electric Ox but couldn’t afford it. Wish I had the time and the know
how to get in on this. The best of all, some day I might actually get my
electric loader tractor (in one form or another). Best of luck on the METI project. From:

Elec-Trak Forum 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! Board of
