Re: (ET) E15 Traction motor pulley

Turbo mode is faster; my only complaint about it is that it's not very linear. "turbo" is an apt term - think of the bad old turbos that were either all crazy power or dog slow... There's too big a jump from top speed non-turbo to the full turbo. I'm no EE, so I don't know why or if it could have been done differently.
Oh and to engage turbo, you have to be level or downhill - otherwise it won't happen. 

That said, I do like my Alltrax very much.  :^)

Is the top ground speed reduced from what the Apollo Era

That's the way the Alltrax field map is configured. When set at factory 
defaults, it doesn't weaken the field as much as the GE controls.
I don't know why Alltrax used that particular field map. But I _think_ that setting "turbo" mode in the software increases the maximum field weakening. I'm not sure because I've never tried it -- I haven't yet felt the need for 
it.
