Ya Mr choo choo has some pretty big diesels powering the
electric drives. The pistons are huge and the diesel they
burn will not work in a diesel car/truck its too thick and they
carry 4000 gals and some have over 4000 hp

It will if you elevate the fuel temperature enough.

Sounds just right to me. 4 hours run time advertised means it will go 2 hours when brand new, then drop to 1 hour after the first year, then 20 minutes in winter.

The average SCUT owner only puts on 50 hours a year. That's less than an hour per week.

Homeowners should be forced into buying electric SCUTs. Its good for them.

Your wit is appallingly good; I'm sure you're being satirical, and yet you're far too convincing.

And all the extra time you will have on your hands.....


Waiting for your tractor to charge.

Don’t locomotives do this too? Diesel/electric locomotives are 4x as efficient at moving freight as a diesel semi.

This article about diesel/electric locomotives is quite interesting ...

Here's our local steel mill. Good thing we are all going to buy electric vehicles and have DPF mufflers on our lawn mowers to save the environment.

If you could build a tractor with one of Mr choo choo's diesel
engines in it wonder how many plows it could pull??
They use some pretty big tractors plowing and harvesting
wheat The Big Bud has 1100 hp can pull 21 18 in plows

No one plows today except the Amish ( think at least). Everyone around here no tills and uses Swedish style tine cultivators to field dress with. Much less disruption and in the spring they pull cultipackers pre seeding.

Much more fuel efficient, less soil (dust loss) and quicker, Not even the produce farmers use moldboard plows today. I bet the scrapyards were loaded with them and probably back now in car parts. Steel has to be the most recycled material on the planet today, with Aluminum next.
