Well, Jim, I suppose I should have mentioned that I may use my Electrall. Diesel is not an option unless I put it on my 660D. That tractor is ballasted to more than twice the weight of my 400s and SMTAs and not very portable.
I mentioned several months ago that I was thinking of making an ice cream tractor. One of the options is to use the Electrall. I will gear it up so that the gas or LP engine is just loafing but producing enough power to run the Electrall to its capacity. The generator could run a variety of things that might include the mixer/freezer tubs (probably four), electric clutches, water pumps (high and low pressure) refrigerated dipping cabinet, AC lights, ice maker, and maybe an instantaneous hot water heater to boost temperatures from a heat exchanger to scalding. There are alot of different components and some of them will probably run off the side and rear PTOs. I'd like to get hired by large company recreation departments, so I am not cutting any corners on the food safety issues. Salmonella and colliform bacteria are hazards with ice cream.
At this point, I am wondering what my daily fuel bill will be. If I use five gallons per hour for six hours, the cost for fuel could approach $100. This is about ten times the fuel cost of people using hit or miss engines. Ya, there are a bunch of people doing this and they even have a website. Punch the link.

At one time I had seven restored examples which were shown and used in ploughing matches. As most restorers, I have a number of war stories I can relate on a range of topics that may help other like minded and interested people. Perhaps my first p
