Dig it.  Each horsepower is almost exactly 750 watts, and it's hardly
worth thinking about starting a tractor unless you intend to do something
with a couple hundred of 'em.

Two hundred horses at twelve volts come out to about 12,500 amps.
How's that for fast-charging?  B-)

Pity batteries won't take it as fast as you can push it - at that rate
I could charge my travel trailer's two deep-cycles in about about 62
seconds.

See why electric cars are difficult?

Hi!  I'm the gun-lobby signature virus!  If you are pro-gun, add the above
to your .signature.  (It was computed conservatively, by pretending there
are only a tad over three and a half million of us - an obsolete number for
just the paid membership of the NRA.  Feel free to make your own estimate.)
