Electric conversion of a lawn tractor.

MMMmmm...nothing says Tuna like "Processed by Mitsubishi."

Holy cows, this thread has had 2690 views.

I'm wondering how much mowing I could get done with a conversion and perhaps a bit more amp-hours on the battery. The idea of a quieter mower with good hill traction is quite appealing.

BG - there has actually been some that were factory built. I expect with better batteries coming on line that this may come back to the surface.

The rolling resistance isn't what takes the power on a mower. The actual mowing does. You might want to google electrac (GE). There actually are folks that are converting others. Check out this place:
