Re: (ET) Field weakening

[Jim Coate <jim freerangeelectric com>]

Maximum power is without any field weakening. Field weakening is used 
for lighter loads at higher speeds.

Being August, I'm assuming that the plowing involved is of dirt? A disc 
plow or similar? With the change in pulley ratio may need to use a lower 
gear when using ground-engaging implements like the plow. ie use LL if 
not already doing so.
