I second that, I think the product is
overall quite well thought out.

Yeah the front lift is a
bit weak, but by and large it works.
The belt drive seems to
work fine.
Actually I'm simple amazed at how good these
tractors are. I pulled my
first E12S out of a pile of junkers. It
had been out in the elements
many years. I had it running in a
couple days. Just needed batteries, a
couple connectors cleaned,
and unfreezing the brake pedal shaft.
It's interesting to hear
from someone who was there at the time. Being
an engineer I'm
always interested in how and what trade-offs are made.
Hearing
about how time compressed you were, it's even more impressive
how
good the tractor came out. You ought to be proud!
