Thoughts on converting an old tractor to electric.
Please click SHOW MORE!
Right now, I'm thinking the best approach for the tractor is to use a 72V system. That would provide fairly good power on a Brushless DC motor. That with the proper motor controller will also provide regenerative braking, excellent speed control, and some other nice features.
Hydraulics are run from a separate brushed DC pump motor. That would be run from the same battery pack, but probably through a controller, so that the appropriate voltage/speed/current could be set. It should also be much more powerful than the original pump on the end of the gas engine. Here's the video on that: • EV Tractor | Convertin...
I laser-cut some cardboard as a test fit to the transmission. Unfortunately, I originally did that photographically, and the accuracy was a little bit off. I worked to create some proper measurements for the adapter plate and I hope to cut the Version 2 test sometime soon. Assuming it's a perfect match, I'll send a file out to get the 1/4" steel cut.
I also found a 3D file of an electric motor that was a very close match to the one I plan to use. I 3D-Printed it out, so I now have a 100% scale mock electric motor.
