I kept having issues with the engine in my zero turn mower, so I converted it to electric.

Here is the finished product. I did this about 8 years ago.

I see Bobcat has an all electric skid steer no hydraulics either.
BTW how much grass can you mow on a charge?

 

[kmakar]

1 acre with flooded batteries. If I went to LifePO4, 2 to 3 acres.

That's pretty good.

No, not that! Actually I'll be moving more pavers tonight so I can put them down tomorrow morning. It was 62 degrees when I took Lisa to the hospital this morning for her followup. Supposed to be cool again tomorrow morning.

Each battery weighs about 70 lbs, so it's a little heavy.

I plan on upgrading to LiFePO4 batteries next year (if I can even get them).
