Re: (ET) Elec-trak locations

Well, that makes a lot of sense.  My father bought and used his in 
Pennsylvania, until I later inherited it and trucked it down to 
Maryland.  He was handicapped and used it mainly as a means of 
transportation (a la golf cart style) and hauling things around the 
property with the dump cart.  The chainsaw was handy on the wooded lot 
as well.

He did buy a second one and had it delivered to Maryland, but as the 
story goes, one of the batteries blew up while he was using it.  He was 
fine, but the tractor had battery acid all over the internals.  He 
decided it wasn't worth the effort and got rid of it.  I'm not sure 
where it ended up.  If I remember correctly, the store he bought it from 
took it back.
