Re: (ET) walk behind electric tractor?

["Pieter Litchfield" <plitch attglobal net>]

Interesting - $2250 for a walk behind before you buy an attachment!!  I not
only own an ET, I also own an "antique" Gravley Model L walk behind 
tractor.
Bought mine in working condition with a rotary plow and a 30 inch brush 
hog,
rebuilt the cylinder and valves (engine is in "like new" condition), and 
I'm
still under $400 invested.  I'm not sure what the market is for a smaller
lighter, "environmentally friendly" walk behind that is more expensive,
than, for example, a new 14 hp DR brushhog or a low end John Deere lawn
tractor.
