How much shorter run time do you have with these as the outside temps drop ?

[WannaBEEfarmer]

Thank you for the question.@heartland96a

At the risk of sounding like a Wise A_ _ .

I don't use the thrower when it's warm. will often put the charger on for a while before blowing which warms the batts.

This thrower sucks serious current and will only just finish the driveway with my poor batteries. That poor little tractor has to move 1200 lbs of weight up a 12% grade each round trip. The batts & wiring get real warm

[heartland96a]

Thanks for the reply , I was thinking in terms of how long the batteries last at 32 F compared to 10F or if the temps plunged into the negative digits.

Realy a nice innovation for home (farm owners) but not practical for guys like me who do it for a living.Imagine I had to go and get security every two hours (at a mall) and waste an hour (or more) to load the batteries.Btw ...(ths one's for pvelectric) I would like to know and understand what's involved to get electricity into them tiny wires?

Way better and cleaner path ...than a plow...

For maximime "colaboration" of maximum benefit to everyone and the nation and world, the cooperation should include and be between public, and consumer inovative collaboration, rather than just corporate socialism for monopoly gains and for the exclusionary ends of least-cost shunning dimwit ceos, who hate competition more than communism. Max repair and fueling costs for consumers mean max profits for THEM making tractors, whose boards of directors members probably sit on oil company boards.

so quiet. how reliable are the batteries? the seem to perform very nicely. its too bad these machines never really captured the market. what a cool idea it was. i have a 1971 112 its a great machine, but i would love to have an elec-trak they are truly unique

Awesome my neighbor about .5 mile down the road had one when I was a kid never got to see it run. Sweet too bad they dont still make one. Probably not noisy enough for all the he-men playing on Sat. afternoon in the yard. Keep 'em running!
