    Brad, I am not buying anything, actually, I just like this thing and if I weren't starting to 'downsize,' I'd sure look close at this. But it would have to beat out a John Deere Gator. A used Gator can be had for the price of this thing. But, you do have to masintain an ICE with the Gator. My gas Gator has a fuel issue right now, gotta dig in, it won't start. Aargh! An electric one is appealing.

    Longer article with the price listed late in the article. Doesn’t exactly jump out at you.

    I always find it curious that new battery equipment is compared to older ICE equipment and then mentioning of maintenance on the ICE

    I saw one toting a round bale. I'm skeptical.

    Right?! Apple n oranges.
    And then there is the fact that once the EV needs a battery, that price is often prohibitive to making the change...so the vehicle ends up getting "beater with a heater" status.
    Many people claim that it all pencils out in favor of the EV in the long run though...I dunno...I'm not there yet personally.

    I agree; they definitely have uses and their place in the market; just not sure about longevity and how to make run when I need it!! BUT I am guy that went 23+ days on generator. So I appreciate electricity.. Also live in the north/rural environment
    Batteries they say get sick in heat and die in the cold
