Love that gas engine sound you added in. LOL

So I’m intrigued was the motor before the old onan still running? Was it just an idea? What battery’s in it? How long to charge and will it run a PTO?

[@roybertalotto6355]

Thanks for watching my videos.....The old motor was in running condition, but I sold it to help fund this project. I'm using 4 AGM 105aH batteries (48V), but mostly run it on 3 batteries (36V) as there is just too much power on 48v. I never run it down below 50% of battery aHs.....It charges back up in about 6 hours with a high quality three battery marine trolling motor charger. I do not use it for any PTO applications, so no PTO drive on this tractor. But if you are clever, I'm sure it could be done. Lord knows the motor is powerful enough.

It's a toy....But it will get used!

How much coal did it take to charge that little tractor I don't see the point

[@mikechapman4767]

Kw of energy is far cheaper to produce at a plant than from the dirty Onan that was once in that thing.

Just calm down it has nothing to do with keeping the country green. It’s just a hobby take a chill.

What a waste of a perfectly nice tractor

I'd put a dollar on it this machine wasn't government subsidized and what you're hearing is actually the noisy factory hydro unit, not the motor.

[@roybertalotto6355]

Hey David, go to my KZbin channel and you can hear the motor running without being hooked up to the Hydro pump. In fact, you can’t hear the motor running because it is totally silent. It’s the Hydro pump that you’re hearing. By the way you must be really fun at parties.
