Additional Features | Tractor uses two motors, one for drive and one to run hydraulic pumps for tag-a-long Zamboni. We recharge for 10 minutes between floods. Reason for conversion was to eliminate dangerous fumes from gas engine in arena. We have two dc controllers (Curtis 1221) to control speed of tractor and pump. Used all last winter with no problems. Hope to convert a regular Zamboni this year. |
