I'd rather run 10 gallons of gas thru mine each year than have to worry about batteries....just when I needed it I'm sure they would be dead! ------------- ALLIS EXPRESS! This year: |

I want to build one some time.. There are videos of them working on youtube... going from 10HP+- to a 12HP electric motor is a huge jump! lol
It costs less than 2K to convert, and thats if you buy everything new... You just need a G in good shape with a bad motor...
No fumes, almost no noise... virtually unlimited variability of speed...

Electric Gs are pretty popular out here in W Oregon. Quite a few market farmers have them and keep them charged with solar panels. The fellow who put the diesel in my G does electric conversion on Gs, Farmall Cubs etc. It is getting more popular than his diesel conversions. I like my diesel real well, though. Always starts, extremely thrifty on fuel, and sounds badass when I open the throttle in 3rd. |

You know, I just don't understand some of these "green" people and there conversions for cars, trucks, tractors, etc. So much is put into batteries through solar panels and such...but one must think...What do you do with the batteries when they are spent!?!?!?!?!?!?! It's just another piece of hazardous waste that must be "disposed of properly"!!!!! UGH!!!!! It just doesn't make any sense to me.

Good point, Gary. I hate it when a weed dodges my cultivator. Morton, Is it preferable that Americans just do nothing, or do you still believe in good old American innovation. Personally, I am all for farmers tinkering around and doing real world research down on the farm. I have a greens harvester that is battery powered that I charge with a solar collector. It is pretty dang nice having machinery I can run inside of a polytunnel and not have to worry about dying from the exhaust. You might be looking at it as people trying to be green, which you obviously feel is stupid. I see it as a way to be less dependent on Saudi oil...risk management. The more ways I can provide power on farm the less exposure I have to "Headline Risk". A prime example of what I am talking about is with hog feed.. All of the local grain in the valley I live in was all sold out as of January. People feeding hogs the standard way Have seen their feed prices double in the last month. Talked to farmer yesterday...he was getting rolled wheat and barley from Land O' Lakes for $150/ton, now it is $318/ton. I checked 16% hog meal last month and it was from $400-560/ton. I don't rely on grain, corn or soybeas, I pasture them and they get a ration of grass/clover pellets with fresh veg scraps mixed in. While everyone else is scrambling for feed, I have 5 acres of prime pasture with lush ryegrass, winter wheat, beets and kale ready to go. Kale is 16-20% protein and wheat grass is 24+. Beets provide a lot of energy. If everyone just follows the herd and does what they are told is the right thing to do, it becomes easy to cripple a certain segment of society. JMO |

Hmm..if you can reverse the electric motor...you'd have a three speed reverse too. Not sure what you'd do with that trick though. ------------- 1949 B 3930 Ford- Have owned other Orange ,green,red,yellow,dark green tractors and equipment. |

| look at all those little elect. fork lifts that they use in stores like wally world, sams, home depot and such...they have one BIG battery...costs area of $5000. to buy a new battery for them. and it takes a forklift to lift them outta the forklift! that's why you see so many of those forklifts at auctions, not feasible to replace just the battery, they just go buy another new forklift with a new battery! i have seen alot of them sell for $100-$500 dollars each. maybe they can be converted over to gas/diesel? next time i see one at auction, i'm gonna buy it for the mast! |

Batteries can be recycled, its far from perfect, but so is anything these days... I'd love to be able to charge my tractors off of our small wind turbine at the farm..
We have an electric pallet jack @ our winery and it just has 6, 6V batteries..
+1 on the no toxic fumes in the high tunnels..
Of course Singinpig, you could run BioDiesel in your G ;)
