My coolest garden tractor so far

[daytime dave]

Several years ago, I purchased my coolest garden tractor so far. I had always wanted one, but never saw one for sale in any good distance. One day I saw it for sale on Craigslist. I paid 800 or 900 for it. It has a front mounted mower, snow blower and several other goodies.

It is an Elec Trak 20. It was designed and made in the late 60's by General Electric. It is way ahead of it's time.

Cool is an understatement, that thing is awesome! Love the chainsaw and trimmer.

Very sharp tractor, Dave! And a great collection of photos, too.
This GE could become a full-time hobby for you all by itself!

I never knew General Electric made a tractor. Learn something new every day.

You had the subject "my coolest garden tractor so far."
So do you have any tractors in sight that would be cooler?

Now that is a cool tractor. I could use one with a front bucket.

There are a few out there. I almost bid on one, but it had a problem with one of the loader arms. They made a loader for it.

I have a rear sleeve hitch and have plowed a bit with it. There is also a roto tiller too.

Really neat tractor. It would be fun to make it all do the work for you.

I didn't know we had a gardening and tractorinf section.

I don't own a tractor but I will certainly post pics gardening.

We can have any section the members want. I want us to share our interests and passions. Garden tractors are an interest and passion of mine. I have a few. I also like Henry rifles. I have a few of them too.

That's a new one for me. Thanks Dave !!
How long will it go on a charge ??
I thought I had the Wife convinced I knew everything and now this.

It takes six 6v batteries like the ones that go in golf carts. It has a variable label on the charging dial. It takes 10 to 12 hrs to charge. There are modern state of the art chargers that lot's of guys are putting in, mine is all original. I bought it from a middleman. He bought it from a man who bought it new and used it up until he couldn't use it anymore when he was in his 90's.

I need a new set of batteries and to have the drive electric motor rebuilt. Perhaps in the spring.

I think that Dave may have been related to my late husband. Grin. Compliment.

(We did not have a tractor like this brand though.)

Did you own a bulldozer at any time in your life too? Perhaps when or if you built a house. My late husband came home with one in my other life in my former state when we built our house after his military service.

Thanks for sharing and I enjoy your pictures and other pictures in this section even though I no longer live in farm/lake country or own a tractor. However that may change in the near future.

Pretty neat tractor. I like gas engines but sooner or later everything will be electric.

[Big Old Boy]

Neat tractor. I go to a lot of tractor shows and have never seen one. I bet it was made I Schenectady Ny.

I'm pretty sure it was. Some of the attachments say Schenectady.

[Frontiersman]

That is really neat.

It feels a bit john deerish. especially the attachments.
