My John deere 420 engine has crapped out and I'm seriously considering converting it to electric with the same configuration as yours. I also want to keep the hydrolic functions for all the attachments. But I need to figure something out with the PTO. Maybe adding a second motor for that perhaps?
@@roybertalotto6355 it's for the front PTO which powers the mower deck or the snowblower depending of the season. Defining the type of motor is the hardest part.
Can you do a video on the hydraulic sleeve hitch?
absolutely beautiful. good job!
Nice build

A front or rear mounted electric mowing deck like I made in the article.

love the PC fan but idk if that fan will actually be able to deal with cooling
Never been needed so far. Motor barely get warm. I thought it would get quite hot, but so far, a couple years of use, and no issues with heat.
Way cool!
Did you have to sacrifice the use of a mower deck?
A coal-powered tractor, VERY cool. One thing... That's not a dead man's switch, that's just a switch.
Like I told my grandkids....You touch it....You're a dead man!!!
hey Roy, how many amps does the motor consume on idle, running that hydraulic pump? and on what voltage? and how much amps when driving around?
About 35A at 36V when idling.....Up to 60A when running full speed......And nearly 100A when really working hard....But only for a short duration.
before i even watch this, i clicked on this because i'm curious about cost and how strong it ends up being.
Ain't cheap....But Man! does it deliver power!
