Mowing Pond Dams or the like.

Yepper that sucker is read to go. Just a little dynamic movement is all you need. Course your sitting behind the wheel will modify the risk somewhat but this is what most people have in mind and I realize you did this strictly for illustrative purposes. Thanks for taking the time for that. Did you "ease" out of the seat. Grin.

On your later picture with the front mounted mower, it would take SOME doing to flip that sucker and with all you have on the ground, and sandy soil, sideways sliding shouldn't be a problem; obviously not. On my black clay, it's hard and if damp, is slick so I need the lugs. Then you can add to that the fact that you have plenty of room to sit wherever you choose on the seat to mitigate any possibility of concern and to remain upright in your body position which I find much more comfortable than trying to hang on and sit straight in the seat.......with a seatbelt and roll bar which my machine has no accommodations for. No water at the bottom of mine either. I said but it went overlooked that I mow the back side only as in the picture, not the front side. Course with our lasting drought, there is quite a distance to the water on the inside anyway.

No, not even close to a rollover. What is not obvious is the very low center of gravity, due to the 8 fullsize deep cycle batteries under the the Ranger EV's seat.

Doesn't have an engine, just a 30 horsepower three phase AC induction motor. :thumbsup:

Ok, I puckered up. What do you have for a 3 phase inverter that will put out 25 or so kW of "juice"?
Yep, I hit max pucker factor the first time that I drove on that slope! :eek:

This is what Polaris uses.

A contraption like that blew me away initially till I toured the site and found the EV. Seemed to be a lot of added goodies just to power the Ranger till I read one line......."sneaking up on wild game". That said it all as did the $11k price tag.

So sir, yes I have to suck it up. That sucker isn't going anywhere with a CG like that.

Quite an interesting machine.
