$1,400 · Elec-Trak Electric Garden Tractor - Powerful, Useful and Green!

Imagine mowing your lawn, blowing the snow and tilling the garden, and countless other tasks, without the roar of an engine or the cost of fuel? Here is your chance... The Elec-Trak was brought out in 1969, just in time for the oil crisis. It became immensely popular, mostly because of its usefulness, useable power and multitude of attachments, each of which ran off the same batteries as the tractor itself. This system is actually one of the last built and was badged under "Wheelhorse". It is identical in every way to the Elec-Trak that was marketed under the GE name. All were built in Schenactady, New York, Ewe-Ess-of-Ay and of quality materials and components. Sold with a front-mounted mower deck (can be raised and lowered, much better than a belly-mount) as well as a snowblower and rototiller. The rototiller is a rare and highly desirable attachment and has its own lifting system to raise or lower it, similar to a 3-point hitch. This is not a cheap product, most other garden tractor systems are mere toys compared to this one. It weighs around 700 lbs. (tractor alone). Check out the photos and you will see that the tires are serious for a residential garden tractor system! The electrical system is 36-volts, 6 X 6-volt deep-cycle golf cart batteries which will need to be replaced. It comes with a Lester charger. Two batteries go in the front and four under the seat for excellent traction. The brakes are also non-functional and will need some work... I have been using it for years and have hardly missed them. You simply plan your trip around the yard and put it in reverse if you need to stop. It's not the same as a gas tractor, electrics are smooth as silk and easier to control. I believe there are seven electric speeds and three geared speeds (Low, Neutral, Drive 1 and Drive 2). Controls may need some work to get all speeds operating. I am selling with a collection of spare parts which I have collected. Run time varies depending on many factors. Generally, it would always give at least 1.5 hours of service at a minimum and I never installed new batteries.
