I don't like ir eat dark meat. We did our first heritage turkey this Thanksgiving. There wasn't much white meat and it wasn't white. It tasted gamey. It was 6x more expensive. Never again.

Did you know you can eat turkey anytime of the year? Lol😅

I cooked a heritage breed for the first time this year it seemed denser and took longer to cook than a meat bird. But tasted much better 😊

I was looking into doing this on an old Bolens Power Hoe but think I'm going to go with a small single cyl diesel for $209. Seems like things I have that sit outside for long periods (trailer lights, ignition switches on mowers) develop electrical issues so why add more electrical issues? I do have 3 Ge Elec-Trac mowers but my diesels are less trouble & more efficient than my gas tractors.

enjoyed the vidieo.i had 2 of those bradleys yrs ago.enjoyed the help you had there.we had a white tom turkey long back.such a pet he was.

You are running the tires wrong, when they pull in soft ground, the v pattern should spread mud, soft soil to the sides making more firm soil for the tire. Yours pull mud into the center, very pour traction.

That’s pretty neat

I love this idea. A great way for old iron to prosper in the modern world

Congratulations, you dragged the David Bradley into the digital age, I hope you're proud of yourself for erasing a part of the David Bradley legacy.

Does the electric tractor has power to plow the soil?

Love your turkey's

Very helpful video, Thank you!

I realize you did this video over 2 years ago, however, I just found it. I too am a David Bradley enthusiast and actually have two units. I'm doing a full restoration on the better one. I like your idea of electric, however, think the belt drive would have worked as well if not better than the bicycle sprocket and chain. Much more durable and less maintenance.

I prefer heritage so I can reproduce. Cause 8 turkeys cost 100 bucks from the hatcheries.

I have heard that broad breasted white turkeys taste artificial

Hi My DB came with a stock 6hp motor. Because you went with a different gear ratio you were able to get more effective power out of the smaller electric motor. How do you feel that it pulls with that ratio? could you push a snow plow? can you bog it down if you wanted to?

Fellas, are you a 1:46 kinda guy or a 1:51 kinda guy

Excellent video

I have broad breasted whites, but I think I am going to start raising hybrid or heritage turkeys now again. I used to have heritage hens and a broad breasted white tom. They were my first batch.

Nice work. I have 2 David Brads and already have the motor mounted to a Cub Cadet for testing and thought about putting on one of the brads. Searched youtube to see if anyone had done it and glad to see it work. I am making my battery cells myself, for now I am running my Cub Cadet off 2 -24V drill batteries. So looks like it is a new project.

Have you seen roughly how long is the battery is lasting when you are running it under load?

Would you sell the briggs?

Great video. I would love to see how it runs with a sickle bar.

Check the description for the full list of parts used in this build. Let me know if anything is missing! :)

Do you have a parts list? What type of controller and battery?

Here from Facebook. Half way through, this is a nice video.

Way to go Tyler! Those David Bradley tractors sure look solid and it's definitely a perfect candidate for conversion. Yours looks great and I think it'll bring you tons of enjoyment and years of service. Better still, you've now built a useful battery electric vehicle and others are sure to follow as you enjoy the precision, control and quiet power of an electric drivetrain. Great job and good work on the conversion. Don't forget fuses on main power and sometimes on accessory circuits. Remember that battery can deliver enough current for welding and a short circuit or momentary error can be really costly and scary or just burn a fuse. I've tried both and fuses are the way to go.

Great video Tyler! Let me know when you are starting to sell some pigs! Would love to help your farm out!
