Re: (ET) Electric tractor article (several makes and models identified)
I’ve done the cord trick a few times myself over the years. Turns out
there were corded tractors over 120 years ago! Check out the link below. A
great read! Note that it seems like its only a one time access if you
don’t sign up to their site. A work around is clearing all the history in
your browser before clicking the link again. Thats what worked on my iMac
anyway.
