'We did not ruin ay poor gasser internal combustion tractors to make these.
They are all original and still running 35 plus years after GE made them.
Did I mention Original..... as in not having to have the internal combustion engine rebuilt. I may be an Idiot...but it is not because I own and electric tractor.
Opening myself up to people who have not done their homework before making negative comments. Well yes you may have me there. I am an Idiot for that.
Why would you ruin these mowers by making them electric. Gas power is just so much better and I think you could probably think of many reasons why i dont to tell you. You are an idiot. How lame!
Someone gave me one of these and I am gutting the wiring to put a PWM controller in it. I'm just trying to figure out the motor wiring now. Anyone have a clue about it?
It has a red and black wire on the back and two red wires on the front. I'm assuming it's a Perm mag motor, but I'm not sure how they have the brushes mounted inside in relation to the wiring.
Those machines are really worth alot. Collectops would buy those right up. However I think its great to be able to move your lawn with electric if you can get it from solar or wind power. Thats the direction we should be going.
The oil companies needn't worry about this electric vehicle ever being produced, since their worldwide lackie corporate underlings have, it seems, all agreed with them to "Declare war Upon the Electric Car" - Riverside Press Enterprise, 1998. Try a search on "electric tractors:" big world but NONE FOR SALE IN THE WHOLE DAMNED WORLD!!!
About 50% of electricity in the USA comes from coal.
I am surprised that you would vote Nuclear if you are a fiscal conservative and believe in small government. Going nuclear is definitely putting the majority of your power eggs in one basket, which is centralized and is controlled by big business and government. My vote goes to small decentralized independent (common folks) that produce power with solar, wind, micro hydro, steam, WVO and wood gasification. WBF :)
@WannaBEEfarmer Not to mention that even a coal plant does a better job at scrubbing its emissions than a standard gas powered lawn tractor that has no emission controls. The energy from the coal plant is far cleaner than that from the inefficient gas tractor.
while I suspect that electric tractors are not the most functional items, and I suspect they are not as "green" as people think. Is it really neccesary to to be so coarse and nasty?
If you are saying "they are" for pussies can you give a specfic reason? Maybe 2. 1 for why you feel they are inferior to gas guzzlers and 1 for why someone who made that choice is somehow inferior? Or is all this just wind?
ok then, there for fucking environmentalists, gasoline engines have alot more power and seriously, its just for pussies, why the hell would you want it to electric? you will run out of battery, half way during the job
Come on...think. I know you can do it. Give me some reasons. You make it sound as if someone trying to not pollute our air and water is defacto stupid, when logic says that they are being responsible and it is the rednecks dumping toxins into our air and water that are stupid. It isn't enviromentalists who cause blue baby alerts in Iowa now is it? Seriously, take a breath, and without cussing try and formulate an argument with facts and figures.
Those electric tractors would drag any gas one you got buddy. You see there is this word called torque. Electrics own in torque pal. And gas has more power? Do you smoke weed? There are huge 500,000 HP 3-phase synchronous motors out their that are pumping water up to reservoirs that would own pretty much anything except a rocket engine.
doubt it, try my John Deere 140, and just to let you know, hp and torqe does not matter AT ALL, you need traction.. and a Real strong low Geared Transmission. so hp, doesent matter. them 2 tractors look like they have a good amount of power, but they wouldent stand a chance against a pulling tractor. i just dont like the idea of the battery going dead.. its stupid
After driving my EV for 10 years, charging it by direct DC 36 Volt (3 Unisolar 62 watt each12 Volt DC panels connected in series, to output the 36 Volts + see my video) modules, I've NEVER had the batteries go dead, the Taylor-Dunn EV just starts to slow down when the batteries get over 5 years old. Damaged terminals and cables have gone out, because I seldom maintain the hauler very well, but if anything I have Too Much Solar Energy, and can't find a 36 Volt charge controller.
As gas prices continue to climb, I think you'll see a renewed interest in all sorts of electric tractors. Great video. Nice touch with Otter riding shot gun. from NWF

That tractor would drag your John Deere all over the yard. Tractors are meant to haul, not go fast..

This would be good if we did not burn coal for electricity. I vote Nuclear.

Hey an Elec-tek E-20 won a national tractor pull off against gassers. This guy talks about how he won at this mailing list:

Let's keep it quite.
How is a guy to make money betting in his kids at the tractor pulls???
I clearly would have made some cash off this guy if you had not let the cat out of the bag.
Those rusty old junkers sure look unassuming. Don't they?
35 years old and still running strong with all original parts.
Emotion over logic makes for cash in some ones pocket.

What the heck is the point elctric tractors are for panzies GASOLINE INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES ALL THE WAY!!
