Tim tracks battery percentage throughout, explains the hydraulic flow switch, and walks through the gear/range system in practice. Best for viewers already following this ongoing electric-tractor evaluation series rather than newcomers doing a quick comparison.
An owner-operator channel where the host received this electric tractor on loan from Selectrax for the calendar year, which he discloses openly while asserting editorial independence.
No. It has a direct drive PTO that is not independent. The PTO speed is tied to ground speed and the mower stops when the tractor stops.
Starting at 83 percent, it dropped to 79 percent after a small area, then 76 percent, and down to 68 percent further into the mowing session.
It controls hydraulic flow with three settings: fully off, an intermediate mode that runs power steering but not enough for fast loader operation, and full flow to lift the loader.
Yes, Tim says the quietness is remarkable and it is certainly a lot quieter than a diesel tractor while mowing, though noise still reached 85 to 87 on his watch.
