DIY Receiver Hitch for my Electric Toro
 
2 Attachment(s)
Fabricated a receiver hitch for my Toro Electric Tractor. Had to move a 2000# trailer last night. Had to go up quite a hill. Tractor didn't even breath hard! All that battery weight really helps traction on wet grass....

A #2000 trailer on a lawnmower transaxle with no bearings and just small axles in aluminum housings and a little brake
I sincerely wish you luck. :bigeyes:

But it has disc brakes! "Stop on a dime with 9 cents change"

So how much to convert???

Can you put a small wheeled alternator on the rear tire so when you are moving its charging the batteries???

:bigthink: 2000 pound trailers usually have 200 or more pounds of tongue weight. I would say you were pushing the limits of that little guy just a wee bit

Yea but....the Toro was free! I'll use it until it breaks. Then move everything over to a John Deere 214 I have waiting in the wings.....I need SOMETHING to keep me occupied!

Was more concerned with your safety than that Toro

Thanks to the conservation law of energy, the charge you would gain would be more than offset by the resistance introduced into the rotation of the wheel.
