The Elec-Trak

Electric tractors are quiet. They produce a whirring sound which is as loud as a microwave oven. This is especially pleasant for those living in suburban environments where the sound of gasoline lawn tractors of neighbors within earshot can drone on all day long on a weekend.

Some consumers like the device because it produces no emissions, mowing the lawn or moving things around the yard no longer meant you had to breath in noxious vapors.

No heat or strong vibrations. Gasoline mowers vibrate strongly and this creates fatigue for those who have to do long jobs on the tractor. The heat generated by gasoline tractors only contributes to the unpleasant job of working on the tractor on a hot summer day.

Horsepower - this tractor is perfect for cutting lawns with lower grass, aerating soil, or spraying, however the lack of horsepower makes it difficult to deal with tall grass or anything requiring a lot of torque over a period of time.  Since the 1970s there have been many improvements to electric tractor technology and some new companies have new products which deal with the horsepower issue.
