'Fully Charged' 144v Electric Pulling Tractor Columbus, OH 2011

This is a video showing the first four runs ever with this tractor. If you are interested in how this tractor was built please see the photo album: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2060562&id=1500630674&l=ce22e141c6

This Video footage and sled cam footage is brought to you by H&J Pulling Productions. If you would like to order the entire event for the Columbus, OH pull please call Midwest Super Cub. The fully edited DVD costs $40

As stated in the video, I am taking two batteries off :( This will drop me down to 120 Volts for the next event. I am also going to re-gear the transmission, in the hopes of utilizing more of the electric motors torque.
Tractor Stats:

NetGain Microprocessor Motor Controller.
Direct drive to the Topshaft of a Cub transmission.

@richardcatdaddy I worked on the couplers and stuff intermittently, but I threw the frame together and wired everything in about 2 weeks, right before Columbus. It went really quite smooth for being the first one. I'm going to do a new battery pack for next year. More voltage. Should help the theoretical HP. Won't make any more torque tho.

@steelhorse1979 I had the fire suit on from pulling the other tractors. Didn't feel like taking it off. I could care less what it sounds like, just as long as it has the power!
