Great video, and thanks for not adding cheesy music to an electric demostration, quiet IS amazing. Love your tractor choice, how's your battery last? I sure would like to convert my zero turn mower into electric. You ever seen a low speed reversable wheel motor? Like somthing worthy of replacing hydrolic wheel motors with? Since electric motors are reversable the whole hydrolics system seems like a waste to maintain.
Brian Edmond Great project and it works great, good job! I wish more people would try electric tractors! 2hrs cutting approx 2 acres or 8-10 hrs pulling trailer on a charge Converting to battery power is a great idea for a garden tractor I converted one 15yrs ago, I used the 3 separate motor design and it is still cutting grass on a daily basis, it is amazing how it never breaks down and needs almost no maintenance, I renew the batteries every 7 yrs I am just on my 3rd set now, my design will cut up to 2 acres on a 50cent charge there are no belts or pulleys and no oil on the entire tractor, it can pull a trailer for about 8hrs on a charge, because battery run time is the most important aspect of most conversions I paid particular attention to the most efficient design, I used 3 separate small motors one for the drive with electronic speed control and two smaller with a cutter blade mounted on the shaft of each cutter motor ,total amperage when cutting grass is approx 40amps, (2000watts) this design only uses the battery power req to do the job, very little wasted battery power, it uses magnetic breaking of both tractor and cutter blades and automatically applies parking brake when you stop or get off the seat, an amazing tractor. electrictractor.net
just saying i was always skeptic of electric vehicles, because the TOYOTA PRIUS put a bad impression for me, but now i see the benefits, if you do it right, like the Saturn EV1, and im planning on converting my tractor to electric as well. but use deep cycle batteries. 12 volt starting batteries are not meant to fully dis-charge, and recharge often, so you get less life. so deep cycle 12 volts are more expensive, but you will get more use out of them.
ill bet if you change the terf tires out with tractor tires it will pull most of that stuff i have simplity tractor im thinking about making it electric
Cool man! You´re my hero!!!!!
ELectric is the future. No noise polution...

thank
How long does the battery last?
+Robert F Just driving around 3hrs +
Fantastic lots of power, what size motor did you use? if you just want to cut grass I sell a riding mower electric conversion kit, electrictractor.net
